Sharon Greenaway

“My artistic practice revolves around creating beautiful art. The fragility of humanity and the natural world of the Loddon Mallee region is my inspiration.

I create macro and landscape imagery from the bush where I often walk to daily.

These images form the basis to my visual and written art.”

C.V. October 2023
