Sharon Greene is an multidisciplinary artist.
Queens of Neon: Sharon set up Queens of Neon in 2008 as a studio space and a creative vehicle to explore all sorts of bonkers and beautiful projects as a solo and collaborative artist.
With an innovative and inspiring creative edge, Sharon's collaborative work has resulted in her working with many of Ireland's most dynamic creatives who together celebrate and push the boundaries of contemporary Irish culture.
Inspiration: Sharon's passion lies in connecting people through shared experience. She believes by exploring our sense of identity through art, memory, heritage, the natural environment, stories of the past present and future we can transcend the differences that keep us from connecting on a deeper level. Sharon is driven by her passion for watching ideas manifest into existence and by transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Background: After studying and working in the field of building conservation as a specialist consultant for over 10 year in Ireland and the U.K Sharon's appreciation and love for the Irish natural and built landscape deepened. In her work with Queens of Neon many aspects of her approach are inspired and influenced by this passion.
Dublin Flea Market: Sharon was the co-founder and organiser of the Dublin Flea Market, a curated second-hand market in Dublin 8 that hosted over 80 stalls selling vintage furniture, clothing, bric-a-brack and artisan food every last Sunday of the month for over ten years from 2008 until 2018. The market was attended by over 5,000 visitors a day, formed a community nucleus in Newmarket Square and incubated many homegrown Irish businesses.
Dublin Flea Christmas Market: Sharon was the curator and creative director of the Dublin Flea Christmas Market 2009-2018. DFCM was a social enterprise market that supported (almost exclusively) Irish creative start-ups and micro enterprises. In 2018 located in the Dublin Docklands, operating for its tenth year the Dublin Flea Christmas Market hosted a curated market of 280 Irish-based design, craft, vintage and artisan food stalls (out of 800 applications). The market traded over 8 days in December, was attended by over 75, 000 visitors and had an estimated spend of over €4 Million.
Sharon has mentored creative start-ups and has given talks on her creative journey at Open House, The Future, Science Gallery Offset, Ballymaloe Lit Fest UCD and Swell Summit.
