| Sharon Spillar | |
Sharon Spillar currently resides in St. Louis, MO. She was born in 1968 in the town of Mount Carmel, Illinois. Her family moved shortly after to her childhood home in Great Bend, Kansas. This is where her art interests began. She spent countless hours watching her mother paint. Her mother was a realist painter. Sharon grew up with the smell of oils and turpentine. She says "it was in my system". She went to Kansas State University in the hopes of becoming something else. Before long, She began wondering why she was pursuing a degree without any conviction. Then her mom came to visit and handed off her art supplies. She began to experiment and then found she could not stop. The next semester she switched all her classes to art history, drawing, and painting. She had finally found her passion. After her father passed away in 1994. She " lost her spirit". She picked up her paint brush again in 2004 and says that she was finally complete again. She keeps her last unfinished painting from 1994, hanging in her house. It is a reminder for her of how far she has come and to never to put down her brushes again. She incorporates her Father’s memory into a large majority of her work. The lines in her work are made from the antique bed springs from her Father’s childhood bed. |

Fliege Der Nr. Sieben

| This painting is from Sharon’s "Fly Fishing series". Not that she has ever fly fished. But, in honor of her brother, Steve. He spent many a day on the road for sales, and never let the bottom line get in the way of a great stream. Watching it for some might be like paint drying. But, for me it is a thing of grace and beauty. Being one with nature and recreating the arc and line of such small flying creatures. For those unable to become one, they will never succeed. It is only the artisan with line that ever come close to the feeling that they can fly and with amazing grace they catch the fish. Only to release it back into the water for a tale some will never believe.
