Friends, I’m Sharon and I’ve lived my entire life in the Los Angeles metro area. I’ve lived in the city, at the beach, and now in the suburbs. I’m a retired lawyer and part-time freelance writer. I painted in oils in high school and studied art history at UCLA.
Four years ago, when I retired from the practice of law, I started taking drawing and painting classes at a local community college. I love drawing with graphite, pen and ink, and colored pencils. I like watercolor, but need to focus on improving my skills.
I’ve been fortunate to travel a lot, including to many parts of the US and Canada. Vancouver and Vancouver Island, Portland, and Seattle are among my favorites (hello doodlewashers from those places).
I love the outdoors and nature, road trips to national and state parks, hiking, the ocean, writing, poetry, music, and of course, art. I’m married to a software designer and have 2 grown children. I’m a product of the clueless ’50s and the mind-blowing ’60s. I guess that makes me an aging boomer with a hippie heart.
