Her work has been exhibited throughout the U.S. and has been included in museum, corporate, university, and private collections. Sharon co-founded Boston Book Arts and served as its coordinator for five years. She has also served on the board of The Fiber Arts Center in Amherst, MA, and on the Massachusetts Cultural Council in her town. Sharon is based in western Massachusetts, where she has a two story studio with a classroom for teaching collage, painting, and book arts workshops.
