“STRANGERS IN A STRANGE LAND” “My studio is full of shards, artifacts and
salvage. At times, I re-purpose the bits and
pieces of history into my work. The illumination
helps me find commonalities between the
various mixed media and allows me to create an
experience and mood”.

“STRANGERS IN A STRANGE LAND” “I had to clear up my messy life. By letting go of the
debris and filth, I have come to a deeper, more soulful
beauty and clarity like an oasis in the desert. From that
place of clarity, a vision of what I could have, what I
could do, who I could be has emerged if I allow my
heart to become a place of compassion, acceptance
and forgiveness.”

Sharon E. Rainey

illuminating translucent layers
of sky blue, aqua, majenta, and
orange stratum. A subdued light
penetrates the blackness of
night signaling...it's time to
journey.”

“STRANGERS IN A STRANGE LAND” A JOURNEY
And the day came when the
risk to remain tight in a bud

it took to blossom.”

Thank you for looking at my most recent series. So much inspiration comes my desert
wilderness experiences. I have revived memories of moonlit landscapes and seascapes and
the vastness of the sky. There are 3 types of designs of resin casts;
