Due to her unusual background, Sharon Eisley's paintings meld a unique mix of mediums and cultural influences. After spending ten years working primarily in watercolor, Sharon moved to Taiwan to study Chinese Brush painting. She lived in Taipei for three years, studying under Chen Mu Yu. When the pollution in Taipei became too much to bear she returned to California and to art school. She graduated from the California College of Arts and Crafts (now CCA) in May, 2001. While at CCAC Sharon fell in love with oil paint in all its color and buttery goodness as well as the juxtaposing hard edges of wood cut prints. Not prone to compromise she devised ways to incorporate these myriad mediums.

Sharon has had shows at galleries in the East Bay and Marin and Santa Rosa. She currently works out of her studio in Santa Rosa, California.
