Sharon Hubbard

Sharon Hubbard, living in Parksville, British Columbia, Canada. Surrounded by nature finds daily artistic and photographic opportunities. As she travels intent on her artistic purpose throughout the Pacific Northwest she can be found up to her knees in bogs or snow banks. How do you describe an artist so extraordinary that she belongs to the world? While Vancouver Island is presently her base camp her love of nature is an ongoing adventure wherever the road leads her. Lately Sharon has spent time exploring the Rockies where wild orchids and lilies grow in the mountain meadows.

She is an active member of the Canadian Federation of Artists where her paintings have won awards Also Sharon is an honours graduate of Fine Arts and Printmaking from the University College of the Fraser Valley, BC, Canada. Her paintings have acquired homes around the world. Sharon does teach occasionally, usually on a one to one basis. It is always a delight to see a student become confident and capable of more than they believed possible.

Cottonwood bark carving has been added in the past year. Working in three dimensional has been an extraordinary experience with 9 first place awards celebrating this talent. Each piece is signed, numbered and photographed for a book proposed in the next few years. The soapstone carvings of our local fossils show the diversity of nature with everyone being an award winner.
