Sharon DiGiulio is an award winning acrylic/collage artist. After
receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Fine and Applied Arts at Central
Michigan University, DiGiulio moved to Key West, Florida to pursue a
career in the arts. She worked as a graphic artist and package designer
for six years before relocating to Raleigh, North Carolina landing a
position with the largest screen-printing company as the art director.
Her passion lead her to Jerry’s Artarama as the event coordinator
where she organizes workshops lead by internationally known artists from
all over the country.
Heavily influenced by the talent surrounding her, DiGiulio now has no
choice but to work in a mixed media fashion. "It seems I learn
something new about a different medium weekly and I just have to try it!
I dare myself to use every technique
I
can think of from transfers, to watercolor to basic drawing, and
printmaking to encaustics, to painting and stitching in
creating my acrylic collages. The choices are endless. Now my challenge
is to put it all together with my collection of
photos and make it work. I read a ton of books and pull from childhood
experiences and memories to embellish my work."
