Sharp is an artist and educator based in Durham, North Carolina.
A Tennessee native, she came to Duke University as an undergraduate
ready to major in chemistry, but one art history survey course with
Professor Rona Goffen completely derailed that original ambition,
and ever since that time her favorite compositions remain those
from fifteenth century Flemish altarpieces. She was the staff photographer at the Independent in Durham for most of the 1990’s while also freelancing regionally for the New York Times, the New York Times Magazine, PBS’s Frontline, the Columbia Journalism Review, and the Ford Foundation, among others. She went on to earn her Master of Fine Arts degree from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2007 and has often been a visiting lecturer at area universities since that time. She loves North Carolina in general and the Triangle region in particular, and while she often strays far afield for her work (the Texas Panhandle; the Scottish Highlands), she always loves coming home to Durham. |
