Sharon Harper-Greentree

Sharon works in oils on linen and black/white graphics on paper. She has been developing landscape themes over several years and continues to develop concepts which challenge the way the environment is seen and understood.

From drawings done en plein air at the source, the idea of viewing, eg the growing tree, through naturally occurring slippages and weathering, intrigues and suggests the otherness of landscape, the unseen boulders, root systems, layers of strata rocks and debris. For Sharon the concept of visible landscape cannot be understood without the unseen.
