Sharon Rosa first became interested in art when she was two years old and has been fascinated by art, illustration, and design ever since (the unhealthy obsession with all things sci-fi came a bit later). She's especially fond of character art, and the challenge which goes along with trying to show a complex personality in a single image.
Sharon was trained in traditional media but prefers working digitally. She's also worked in a variety of subjects and styles, but is currently obsessed with sci-fi book and story illustration.
ARTISTIC EDUCATION
Started with pencil-scribbles at her grandmother's kitchen table alongside Grammy's pen-and-ink drawings, then studied at Sue Hand's Imagery throughout most of her school years. Sharon also spent all of two years as an art major at Syracuse University and Sage College before dropping out of art school to study business (aka, How to Sell What She's Making). She still attempts to learn new art techniques on a regular basis, but this now comes primarily in the form of ImagineFX magazines instead of studio classes.
