Sharon Fox Cranston, SCA, MPAC, PSA
.
Sharon's art captures more than landscapes—it tells a story shaped by her journey from the UK to Nova Scotia. Raised near Georgian Bay, her early experiences rooted her passion for the Canadian landscape.
Her early professional years in graphic design gave way to her true calling as a full-time artist over the past sixteen years. Sharon’s work spans acrylics, oils, pastels, and gouache, with a focus on light, shadow, and mood in landscapes.
An award winning artist, Sharon’s is a member of the Society of Canadian Artists, Pastel Artists Canada and the Pastel Society of America. She also mentors artists online as a Master Artist with Mastrius.
For Sharon, art is more than a medium of expression; it is an avenue for growth and discovery. She is dedicated to challenging herself to experiment and explore new perspectives. Each painting becomes a visual diary, recording her journey, her observations, and her attempts to translate those moments into a shared experience.
An avid plein air painter, Sharon enjoys painting on location, fully immersing herself in the environment she seeks to capture, allowing her to impart authentic and immediate expressions of her surroundings.
In addition to her personal practice, Sharon is dedicated to teaching others through workshops. She finds joy in sharing her techniques and insights, fostering a community of artists who are equally passionate about exploring the world through visual art.
Beyond painting, she enjoys videography, and writing, embracing storytelling across media. For Sharon Fox Cranston, art is an ongoing exploration—a means to interpret the world, and inspire connection.
