Born in Sudbury,
Ontario, Sharon MacKinnon summered at the French River
before settling on the Georgian Bay with her family. Both
“homes” continue to play an integral role in her expressions
of the Canadian landscape.
She received her Master of Education from the University of
Toronto and has more than 25 years of teaching experience.
She is an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists
and the Ontario Society of Artists and the founding
education chairperson of the Huronia School of Arts. She
especially enjoys painting and sketching en plein air from
her kayak.
She paints in encaustic, acrylic and watermedia, her
paintings are rich in colour, texture and spontaneity. Her
paintings are collected internationally and have recently
been presented to the Canadian Embassies in Vietnam,
Cambodia and South Africa and the High Commissions in India
and Sri Lanka. |
