The former category’s works are an attempt to find harmony between nature and humanity’s impact upon it and a search to find beauty where nature abuts uncomfortably against the industrialised city. Sharyne paints highly textured canvas then embroiders found or vintage objects on to them. She likes the idea of transforming the everyday in to something beautiful and new … alchemy! &#160; Her second theme is an examination of the fleeting quality of beauty and sensuality. Since her days at RMIT, she has created a series of personal portraits of herself, friends, lovers and family. These sometimes confronting images show her conflicted relationship with her own body in the years spanning early adulthood to her 40s.

The result her first exhibition (solo or otherwise) is an ambitious solo event of paintings and sculpture titled: ‘Art is Fun’ at the TAP GALLERY 278 Palmer St Darlinghurst from 21st May to 3rd June 2012 (upstairs)  A series of large dynamic canvases, a postmodern take the portrait, a traditional subject put in a new composition and context , she deliberately challenges the contemporary art world head on through both her art and the artist(herself).  A series of close up faces of a subject matter (dogs) that does not fit into the ‘contemporary art’ criteria (often regarded as kitch)– an introspective look at the art world that will demand attention on many levels. It gives a nod to past art genres, comments on contemporary society/art, celebrity, markets and even has shock value [...]]]></description>
