Sharon SHAPIRO
Sharon Shapiro has exhibited nationally at venues including SPRING/BREAK (NYC), the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington (VA), Garvey Simon, and the Gadsden Museum of Art (AL). Her work has been supported by several residencies (Ucross, Jentel, Ragdale, Hambidge, and the VCCA) and grants, including two from the Virginia MFA.
“My work explores the tensions within contemporary female experience—the contrast between societal expectations and the vibrant, often turbulent inner self. I aim to capture a feeling of longing manifest in contemporary life, the undercurrents of opposing forces: imagination and reality, utopia and dystopia, lightness and discomfort.”
