ARTIST: SHARON HOURIGAN Sharon Hourigan recalls that, as a child, she loved to draw, paint and color and throughout her adolescence, loved visiting galleries and museums. Although Sharon did not receive fine art instruction or training during her formal education, her Bachelors degree in Marketing and her subsequent role as Mom to her two children eventually lead her to an artist apprenticeship. While Sharon’s children were pursuing an education in the performing arts Sharon was recruited as Chairperson for the local arts council in her county. Inspired by local artists as well as the passion exhibited by her children for their craft, Sharon was motivated to find a local artist willing to offer her instruction in Representational Art. Her inquiries lead her to an introduction to Anthony Waichulis, internationally renowned Trompe L’oeil painter. Sharon was accepted into The Waichulis Studio apprenticeship program in 2009 and later continued her studies with the Ani Art Academies Waichulis in Bear Creek, Pennsylvania, where essential fundamentals of draftsmanship, anatomy of form, elements of perception, and various methods of Representational painting are taught.
