<p><em>I am an award-winning artist and my works hang in private residences community hospitals businesses and restaurants across the US and also abroad.  I live in Pierre South Dakota. Since 2008 I have owned Sharon Welch Gallery and Studio where I paint and teach classes.  My theory is have fun remove the fear of failure experiment and let the child inside of you play.</em></p><p><em>Very often my work begins with a heavily textured boldly painted surface. My next step is to work within design<br />principles adding color texture pattern and line allowing the canvas to speak to me. The result is that my paintings are often eclectic covering a wide range of subjects but cohesive because of color bold marks and movement.</em></p><p> </p>
