GALLERY OCTAGHANAHOUSE

Sharon is a Visual/Performance Artist, Aesthetic Anthropologist, Ordained Minister, and Arts Educator/Curator. She has presented lecture-demonstrations, performances, and visual arts exhibitions at numerous colleges, universities, galleries, churches, community centers, and international conferences. Sharon synthesizes art and anthropology into her visual and performance artwork as a painter, choreographer, filmmaker, music composer, and an online community organizer. Her fieldwork research has been to unearth primary artifacts and documents within museums throughout North America, the African Diaspora, and the Continent of Africa. “As a ‘Vint-AGED’ artist/educator/choreographer/performer, I have never separated the Arts into neat little disciplines. The Creative Process is always a spiritual encounter for me that comes in many forms. My objective is to master the processes that will enable me to communicate with people in thought-provoking ways that can bring us to a collective responsibility (UJIMA) towards one another.”
