About Sharon Matchett
- Sharon Matchett
- I'm a retired, classically trained singer (and frustrated flautist) who has discovered another voice within which I now express through the medium of watercolors. Although the art of painting is something completely new to me (I am self taught), the language has turned out to be very familiar. As with singing an aria beautifully, expressing myself in a beautiful and meaningful way in watercolors involves excellent timing, rhythm, tempo, coloration, and artistry. For me, painting with watercolors is like music flowing from my brush. It fulfills that deepest need which I believe lies within us all, the need to feel connected. As I paint I am immersed in and connected to my subject. I become my most creative self, and, in those moments, I feel I am at one with the universe - a marvelous feeling for sure! If what I paint somehow connects with the viewer .... what more could an artist wish for?

Painting In Dulcet Tones
Have finally finished my entry for the Onomatopoetic - Art Inspiring Art: Music Made Visible contest. All entries have been inspired by "In Dulcet Tones" composed by Dr. Jesse Jones, and will be on display for 3 weeks starting 6PM, September 4 (First Thursdays On Main) at CertusBank, Main Street, Columbia SC at which time awards will be announced. "In Dulcet Tones" will have it's national premier September 28 at 3:30 in the USC Recital Hall. (16 x 20) This is my first attempt to use a watermark in case you're wondering why I decided to paint sMatchett across the top!
