The Creative Kid in All of Us

Writer's picture: sharonkingstonsharonkingston

In addition to making art, I love to teach art to children. In celebration of everything the Allied Arts Education Program does for education in the schools, my gallery Works on Canvas will be hosting an exhibit on May 7th titled “Portraying the Artist as a Young Artist” (thank you James Joyce for inspiring the exhibit title). I’m calling all artists to bring in an example of their work as a child to display along side their non-child work (aka professional work). Ben Mann, one of the most enthusiastic and cherished teaching artists in the AAEP, will be exhibiting along with other fabulous Bellingham artists. If you are interested, call your Mom and get that 2nd grade self-portrait in the show!

      Sharon Kingston is a Bellingham WA (Washington) based artist.  As an oil painter she uses the properties of her medium to create paintings that respond to both the atmosphere of her surroundings and poetry. This method of looking inward and outward and, in the moments of painting, finding her way on the canvas is her approach to creating paintings infused with poetry and the memory of landscape. The atmospheric element of her work is a testament to her desire to create spaces that are undefined, contemplative and allow room to reflect and accept uncertainty. Poetry, by nature open ended, is used both in the conceptualization of the work and as a part of the studio practice. The words of Rainer Rilke have informed Sharon’s work for many years, but she also turns to contemporary poetry when it resonates with her life. She uses layers of transparent color, reveals forms by concealing and unearthing pentimenti and suggests elements of landscape in her process.

      People describe her paintings as ethereal, atmospheric, contemplative, PNW inspired, and filled with light and mood.  She has a storefront art studio in downtown Bellingham and welcomes you view her paintings in person.
