Sharon Greene is an multidisciplinary Irish artist and cultural curator.

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 visual art, cultural heritage and the natural and built environment, we can contribute meaningfully and creating a more harmonious relationship with each other and the land.

As a cultural curator Sharon has created and programmed both urban and rural spaces that have successfully invite and 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.

Her own 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, either organic or manmade, into emotive sculptural works. Over the past few years she has been expanding her creative practice into the area of print and collage. Always drawn simultaneously to both bold colours, strong graphic lines as well as softer natural elements. her art work often explores this duality.

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.
