Sharon Krinsky is a New York-based artist who began drawing and painting in childhood and has never lost her passion for making art and discovering new techniques and materials. In addition to painting, she works with collage and assemblage, printmaking, and handmade books, and often combines a variety of media in one piece. After many years of concentrating on imaginary worlds, she has recently reignited her practice in life drawing and portrait painting. One of her current goals is to create portraits that are abstract yet able to visually express real aspects of someone’s personality. Sharon has a BA in Fine Arts from Queens College and a Master’s degree in Information and Library Science from Pratt Institute. She has studied at the New York School of the Arts and Omega Institute and taken numerous workshops, including traveling to Ireland for printmaking and to Mexico for collage. She has exhibited extensively in galleries and alternative spaces in New York and Pennsylvania as well as virtually. In addition, she writes poetry, which has been published in several literary magazines and most notably in the Best American Poetry book series. Combining her love for art and poetry, she recently completed a series of collages that illustrate her prose poem, “Mystery Stories.” Sharon is a Signature member of the National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) and was the recipient of an award for her watercolor in the 2023 NAWA 134th Annual Members Exhibition and for her collage in the 2021 NAWA Winter Small Works Exhibit. As a member of the National Collage Society, one of her pieces was selected for inclusion in the 2020 NCS calendar, and she won an award for her entry in the 2015 NCS Postcard show. She was recently juried into membership in the Federation of Modern Painters and Sculptors and is a member of the West Side Arts Coalition.
