            artist profile

            Sharon Rusch Shaver, a resident of  middle Tennessee, has been painting professionally since the 1970’s. She has won numerous awards, done artist residencies, public art, and currently gives artist tours to Europe. 

            Sharon was commissioned to do a painting  for the White House in Washington, D.C. in 1999, which is a part of  their permanent collection. The artist teaches intensive workshops in  oil painting for artists several times a year, and works with various grant programs through organizations in her home state, to teach the  basics of oil painting to beginning students as well.

            my painting style

            Sharon's paintings and award-winning canvases are representative of the world she sees around her. She says, "I would see something and just have to paint it." Never without a sketchpad and a camera, the artist records visuals and then interprets then in her own unique perspective and captures it on canvas.

            Sharon's art work spans across landscapes, figurative series, still-life and contemporary. On her approach to the different styles, she says, "My figurative work is completed in the studio, and has a more contemporary style and feel than my landscape painting. I like being able to go back and forth between the two."
