COMMISSIONED SCULPTURE

Sharon accepts select commissions for figurative, portrait, memorial, and larger-scale sculptural work. Each commission begins with an original sculpted design and is developed in collaboration with the client to achieve the intended character, scale, and setting.

Finished works may be produced in ceramic, resin, or bronze depending on the project and its intended display environment.
