Artist Profile  Martha Sharp

“Sharp’s brush unveils to us true intimacy. She opens to us an individual’s intense personal involvement with a thought or memory or with something beautiful...”

The SUN Newspaper, Myrtle Beach, SC

Martha’s award-winning work has been shown in numerous one woman, group and juried regional shows and is showcased in corporate and private collections throughout the United States and Europe.

After a first career in the computer industry, Martha Sharp 
took a painting class at the Gibbes Museum Studio in Charleston. That was the spark that started her painting career.

Painting was “love at first sight” and quickly became her life. Taking workshops with numerous national artists; as well as adding a wealth of museum and private study, Martha has developed a painting style that has become uniquely her own.

Martha creates captivating light-filled floral, landscape and figurative oil paintings that invite the viewer to become a part of her vision of joy, beauty and elegance. Her oil paintings are filled with rich color and energetic brushwork adding her feelings of movement 
and life to her art. 
Most important of all to her is to change subject matter 
to keep the work fresh and new.


Martha teaches painting in small groups and also offers private lessons. Her work has also been featured on magazine covers and in Art Galleries and Artists of the South, Art Talk of Scottsdale, and South Carolina magazine.
