TIMELESS PORTRAITS

Portraits created from the heart, to reflect the heart.

Sharen Martinson

I remember being a young girl and receiving my very first art tablet.  I was fascinated by people's faces and couldn't stop drawing them.  This natural talent was rediscovered in my later years and is now being embraced after retirement from the health care field.   

I love bringing the heart and spirit of each subject to life on canvas.  Painting is such a joy - the blending of color, the flow of light, and the quiet magic as a portrait begins to emerge.  Each piece is a gentle celebration of the beauty within.

 

People

When I paint a portrait I don't see the features - I feel the essence within.  My acrylic paintings are created to honor the heart's essence, capturing the uniqueness that makes each person special.

Pets

I paint portraits that capture the love and personality of your beloved animal shining through their eyes.  A beautiful gift to honor a birthday, Angel Anniversary, or to celebrate who they are in your life.

"Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen."
