SHARON MALLEY

About the Artist

Sharon Malley is an artist working in Arlington, Virginia as a member of the Columbia Pike Artist Studios. In addition to her work at Touchstone Gallery, she shows in juried exhibitions in the greater DC metropolitan area and mid-Atlantic states. The theme of most of her current abstracts centers on her deep reverence for nature and concerns about climate change, as she has been a volunteer environmental advocate for many years. In addition to her abstracts, she has developed a series of narratives drawing on her past. Her knowledge of the use of color is manifested in her vibrant paintings that viewers have described as “uplifting and joyful”. Her primary painting medium is oil, beginning a canvas or wood panel with a layer of acrylic and adhering rice paper and other collage elements to the background, followed by oil. She also works in oil and cold wax medium on wood panel.
