WELCOME
My name is Sharon Seidl -
known by friends as Shroon
I live, work and paint in New York.
I love the sense of play in life and especially when I paint. Singing and dancing while working.
I have never been afraid to take chances. In my life as in my artworks I am known to take bold moves. I take pleasure in the uncertainty of each piece. Each piece develops through uncertainty and reveals itself through color, composition and texture.
I have had a varied design career. which includes designing mainline musician album art, fashion design features for well known magazines and data visualizations. I have also hired thousands of illustrators and photographers. Having had so many years of designing under my belt, I am a lover of many styles. I find this experience weaves itself through my various painting styles. My work fluctuates from the joy of creating messaging and meaning to simply creating something with beautiful color. Since I can not identify with a single style, I decided to coin a new art term to describe my work. I call it Popstrabstract!

Playing with strokes of color and blends of texture to evoke emotions which can be seen in everything she creates.
