She paints in layers, adding collage and mixed materials along with glazes of paint as the pieces demand. Her paintings are inspired by life’s events, by places she has been to and people she has met; by conversations she has valued and opinions she has held; by experiences which translate into universal themes. Sharkey currently lives and paints in her native Fermanagh, working part-time in her local library, while concentrating on building up her art practice. She has exhibited in a number of online exhibitions and in Northern Irish galleries, including the Clinton Centre, Hambly & Hambly and the Strule Arts Centre. Admission is FREE.
