Sharon’s practice as a visual artist began while creating multi-sensory, site-specific installations for Irish Festivals and cultural events. During this time she explored themes of ephemerality by transforming and manipulating found elements, often foraged organic material, into emotive sculptural works. More recently she has been expanding her creative practice into the area of print, paint, collage and pottery.

Embracing both nature-rooted and graphic sensibilities, Sharon’s practice often explores botanical forms though a graphic lens, resulting in a playful, colourful and bold visual language.

As a cultural project curator Sharon has created and programmed both urban and rural spaces that have successfully engaged audiences on a sensory level. She has championed visual artists and skilled crafts workers and has elevated them though public engaging platforms such as cultural events and markets.

Sharon is a qualified Building Conservation Consultant. She has worked as a freelance Conservation Consultant for over 20 years. She also consults creatively on a wide selection and variety of projects.

Dublin Flea Market: Sharon was the co-founder and organiser of the Dublin Flea Market, and the Dublin Flea Christmas Market 2009-2018. The Dublin Flea monthly market was a curated second-hand market in Dublin 8 that hosted over 80 stalls selling vintage and collectibles. This market was attended by over 5,000 visitors on the last Sunday of every month, formed a community nucleus in Newmarket Square and incubated many homegrown Irish creative businesses.

The Dublin Flea Christmas Market, located in the Dublin Docklands, at its peak, hosted 300 Irish-based design, craft, vintage and artisan food stalls (curated out of 700 applications). The market traded over 8 days, was attended by over 75, 000 visitors and had an estimated spend of over €4 Million.
