Sharon Sieben prefers working in a loose, fluid technique and finds inspiration in the most unexpected things. Her parents bought her a set of oil paints when she was ten years old and it sparked her love of art. She especially admires the work of Impressionist artists such as Paul Cezanne because of how they broke tradition. When she's not making art, she enjoys reading and playing classical guitar and piano. She currently lives in Arizona.

About The Artist
Artist Statement
Favorite subjects are Figurative Work or Cityscapes. Sometimes, my cityscapes will drill down to city scenes, incorporating figures as well. I try to capture the “hustle and bustle’’ of urban life and moods of people in gestures.
Working primarily with acrylic and oil pigments, there is also frequent use of collage materials, mediums and marking pencils/crayons to develop texture and interest areas. I paint on either Gallery Wrap Canvas or on paper that has been bonded to a wood cradle. In both cases the edges are finished and all of my paintings are coated with archival varnish, ready to hang without a frame.
It is my hope that viewers will share my vision and can find their own personal connection with the piece.

Hear What Collectors Say About Sharon's Work
Sharon: I have “The Two of Us” is positioned very close to an abstract sculpture of a couple embracing one another. They truly compliment each other and generate some wonderful comments from my friends. Thank you so much for for your artistry!
Sharon, I just received "Skyline VIII" and it is all I hoped it would be - bold, textured and perfect coloring. I will continue to follow your excellent work. Cheers!
Thanks Karen. It felt good painting it. Glad you felt the same!
just wanted to tell you I love this painting- I see so much in it---it caught my eye--and it made me feel good- thank you for sharing your talent- Karen
I actually purchased Flappers II, not Marilyn as pictured below. Thank you. Love it but need to know how to best preserve it.
Dear Sharon: I purchased Flappers ll from you and absolutely love it! I brought it in for framing with glass to cover it, but now I am worried that the glass will damage the artwork. The picture is behind a custom mat but worried the painting will stick to the glass or will not have enough "breathing room." Please advise on how I should best protect this awesome piece of art.
Thanks Shawn, appreciate the compliments!
Sharon, I just wanted to chime in and compliment you on your really cool paintings. I'm a beginner myself and really like your style and work! Take Care, Shawn from Minnesota
Thank you for the kind comments. I don't currently have any finished nudes available (other that what is already on the Ugallery site). I do have one in process 24" x 24" and a primed canvas 30" x 30" which can become a work done in similar style and pose. Would love to contribute to you bedroom decor. Please let me know how I can help.
I absolutely love Viewpoint. It would be perfect for our newly decorated bedroom. Do you have anything similar but twice the size? It's beautiful!
Thanks Janet for the kind words and adding the Poppy to your Pinterest Board.
Love your work. Am borrowing your "Golden Poppy" for display on my Pinterest art board, Lovely Colors... Thanks so much! Janet
This week launches the first piece in my new "Summer Garden" series; consisting of flower compositions in oil on 36" x 18" stretched canvas. "Poppy Fields" will soon be followed by "Blue Poppies" and after that.....?
