As a child, she was always an avid inspiring artist waking early in the mornings to create endless drawings, and then later on discovering the joys of paint. While majority of Sharma's childhood was spent growing up in Far North Queensland, one might say she has had a somewhat gypsy upbringing. Spending the first 9 years of her life living in a converted school bus and travelling and living in var
ious parts of Queensland. Always feeling like the odd one out and the newcomer this may have contributed to Sharma's attraction to Art. Taking inspiration from Artists such as Salvador Dali and M.C. Sharma's greatest inspiration has always been the world and life itself. Most of Sharma's paintings follow in either a Progressive, Boho, Pop, Abstract or Surreal style/genre. Sharma draws beauty from life, animals, landscapes and emotions to create her paintings. With no formal training other than what was learnt at High School. Sharma taught herself to paint, and was a high achiever in the Arts during High School, winning various awards for her Design and Art skills. Winning first prize for a pen and ink stipple drawing and third prize for an abstract painting in the Tully and District Show in North Queensland was an achievement for Sharma in 2004. Recently (2016) taking part in an exhibition/Showcase with RAW Australia at 'The Met' in Fortitude Valley was a huge achievement and the first of it's kind for Sharma. Sharma has been a fairly regular Market Stall holder over the last four years. Having had her work on display in a variety of Handmade local stores, showcasing her Art, handpainted shoes and hats and bags which have been bought and sent all of the World including: France, Dubai, England, New Zealand, South Africa, America and all over Australia. Sharma's passion still lies with a paintbrush and canvas. As a Wife and Mother of three children, time is of the essence. Sharma puts her heart, love and sole into every piece of work she produces and is determined to continue to produce Artwork to represent herself and the things that are dear to her and inspire her. Loving colour, patterns, texture and filling every little gap of blank canvas with some kind of wonderful.
'As a life without Art, would be a life not worth living.'
