Sharon
Towle
One
of the things that sets Sharon Towle's work apart from other contemporary
watercolorists is her talent for making the mundane special; everyday
things the human eye takes for granted become the focal points of her
brilliant canvases. Brilliant depictions are defined by her dramatic use
of bold, clear color, intricate shadings and her love affair with the
light; color so transparent her canvases seem to be made of glass.

The
scenes from her many travels throughout the Caribbean and Mexico are
intriguing and colorful –the quaint shops, native people in colorful dress,
local architecture and scenic vistas–as well as landscapes that
capture the sunlaced beauty of the California coast.
"I
believe opposites attract, in life as well as in art. I look for disparity
in texture and tone and make them work together. I blend negative with
positive shapes, mix simplicity with detail, contrast bright, happy colors
with darker tones of the earth, sea and sky, and translate these techniques
to items I find about me…I want people who look at my work to come
away with new perspectives; to see commonplace things in a brand new light…see
them again for the very first time." says Sharon
