Sharen Marea Watson

A self taught artist, sharen commences a painting with no finished image in mind. Transparent layers merge, splatters, brush marks, textures and drips are applied in gay abandon. It’s quite a delicious way to commence an artwork. The canvas is continuously turned until something sparks a subject matter. It is then that “the right way up” is decided, and colour balance, image balance and all the niceties come into play. sharen holds a Toi iho (maori made) mark for painting. ( for indigenous artist’s of New Zealand).
