Sharon Svec
Sharon Svec is a visual artist and curator based in Vancouver, Washington. She is many things, but every iteration is laid with the foundation of an artist. Whether through visits to the Art Institute of Chicago, or to her grandfather’s workbench, she was exposed to art regularly at a young age. She framed her life with an education, career and practices centered on creativity and cultural respect. Sharon earned an MFA at Southern Illinois University in 2000 with degrees in Visual Communication and Professional Media Practice. She also studied and performed regularly with the Theater Department. Sharon’s subsequent work in printing, publishing and communication has greatly influenced her process. She curates at Art at the Cave, Aqua Gallery, Corridor Gallery, and the Vancouver Arts and Music Festival among others, while maintaining an active creative practice in her own studio.
