Sharon Virtue

Sharon Virtue is a British artist of Jamaican and Irish heritage, living in Fairfax, California. She is a multi-media artist, with a BA in Fine art and a Masters in Community arts from Goldsmiths University in London, U.K.

She has a strong social practice and believes artists are agents of transformation. Her works narrate stories of shape shifting, metamorphosis and power. They contain mythological beings, and archetypal symbols which exist amidst the veils of the natural and supernatural realms. 

Sharon is currently one of the town of Fairfax’s artists in residence along with Stephanie Mohan and Susan Pascal Behren.
