Sharon Henderson is a classically trained artist and educator whose career bridges illustration, design, and fine art. She earned her BFA in Illustration from Moore College of Art and Design. She pursued graduate studies in English Literature at Villanova University before launching a successful design career with Fortune 500 companies, national publications, and private commissions.

​

In 2012, Sharon shifted her focus to fine art, completing intensive training at Studio Incamminati and studying under master artists, including Jon DeMartin, Dan Thompson, and Nelson and Leona Shanks, among others. Her education reflects the rigor of Italian Accademia and French Atelier traditions, enhanced by Impressionist color theory. Her work spans portraiture, still life, figure, and landscape.

 

As an educator, Sharon teaches students of all levels, designing individualized lessons that draw on classical methods, art history, and an intuitive understanding of each student’s strengths. Her teaching emphasizes the creative process as a powerful tool for both artistic and personal growth.

 

Her creative work is exhibited in a variety of public and private settings, including residential and corporate interiors, universities, casinos, hotels, airports, and private collections.

 

"I cherish the quiet moments when I become aware that there is a greater force at work through me, and years of learned technique turn fluently into something beautiful on canvas. I strive to share the healing power of inspiration with others, and I believe the true gift of being an artist lies in the ability to see beauty everywhere."
