Sharon DeSailly Art

Artist bio

Words like 'joyful' and 'vibrant' are used often to describe Sharon DeSailly's contemporary paintings. Use of brilliant colours in oils and acrylics, and bold texture are recognisable elements in her style. As a full time artist living in Bayside Melbourne, as well as being an avid traveller within Australia and abroad, she easily finds the inspiration to pay tribute to beauty in our everyday life. Through her paintings, the viewer is invited into the scene in an almost tactile way ... a sense of 'being there'. DeSailly's abstract impressionist approach lends itself to any subject. Her gallery transports the viewer from a deep forest perspective,to a vivid seaside sunset, to highly textured trees against the intense rich hues and powerful rock formations of outback Australia; to beautiful fragrant flowers in riotous French cottage gardens. Any scene that conveys the beauty of nature and the wonder of light in our world will compel her to pick up the brushes and create.

I create art because...

Art can transport people to a happy place and who doesn’t want more happy?

I am different to most artists because...

I’m not afraid of colour and experimentation. Don’t try to put me in a box.

When you look at my art, the thing I want you to feel is...

Wow! I love this!

The thing I most want to say to non-artists is...

The world is a beautiful place. Let’s celebrate that.

I believe art is an important part of our lives because...

It bypasses all our edit buttons and speaks directly to our emotions.
