- About Me: My work could be termed ‘experimental art’; it originates from my psyche, with elements of control. The materials I use, and the processes, are an important part of my practice. Layering and glazing the paint influences the paintings final outcome. I sometimes have a broad notion of what I am trying to convey, however I hope not to allow preconceived ideas to hold back any creativity. Reworking and editing as I go, creating an interaction between me, the paint and the painting; and giving way when a composition wants to go in a completely different direction. The act of painting becomes a journey of discovery, a constant struggle between the urge to control the work and the desire to welcome the unpredictable. By not bestowing meaning, I sometimes find meaning; however I intend no meaning, and they do sometimes conjure images whilst in the making, and this can lead to their naming. Like all abstract art it communicates on a subliminal level, negating the need for words. A response to the paint and the canvas, manifest visually from the psyche. Background My name is Sharon Goodsall and I paint under the name of ‘ashar’ I retired and moved to Somerset in 2004 and found myself with little to do. Consequently, I signed up for a Diploma in Art and Design in 2004. Walla I had found me again! Education in Fine Art BTEC Diploma Foundation Studies (Art and Design) with merit. Yeovil College 2007 Foundation Degree in Arts (FdA) Fine Art University of Plymouth – SCAT 2011 BA (Hons) in Fine Art Plymouth University - SCAT 2012 I am now going to go on to do an MfA in Fine Art at Bath Spa 2013/14 Media I now work mainly in acrylics with other media such as oil pastel, graphite, metal leaf, crayon, ink pencils and anything else that may fit the piece. This can be on canvas or board or on plaster on board. NB: the works that are not available are the works on plaster as I am not at all sure how they would travel so thought it best not to risk them having to go overseas My work is for sale from my studio in Somerset and from exhibitions where you can come to see my work in the flesh.
