Sharon Malley

Sharon Malley’s work has been shown at Touchstone Gallery in Washington, DC, and in numerous juried shows in the greater DC metropolitan area and mid-Atlantic states. The theme of most of her abstracts centers on her deep reverence for nature and concerns about climate change. In addition, she paints narratives depicting stories of her past and people of different racial backgrounds. Her primary painting medium is oil, beginning a canvas or wood panel with a layer of acrylic and adhering rice paper and other collage elements to the background. She then works in oil. She also works in oil and cold wax medium on wood panels. She recently started making images using silk screening techniques and plans to incorporate that medium in her paintings. 

Sharon’s professional and academic pursuits in disabilities include a doctorate in education with a focus on arts and special education. She has contributed to a national agenda in those intersecting fields through her work at the Kennedy Center and independently through publications and workshops.

Work is available by visiting her website. Feel free to get in touch to see her work in person!
