Sharon Ingram

I am a Raunds based fine artist.

Coming  from a technical design background, much of my work is very precise and detailed.

I believe my artwork is very much a reflection of my passions and interests.

A life long bird watcher, conservationalist and nature lover.

I enjoy painting wildlife, birds, and landscapes, as well as commission portraits and still life

studies, and also love drawing - absolutely anything and everything.

I have always been involved in design and illustative work, architectural and planning drawings.

I also enjoy walking, gardening and literature, classical music, opera and brass.

I am a very keen photographer, mainly wildlife and landscape - which provide me with varied subject matter and inspiration for my artwork and supports my enthusiastic compulsion to paint and create.

I was immersed in art from a very early age - my Mum is a keen amateur artist, and I witnessed painting and galleries first hand, developing a very keen interest in art history as time passed.  She has run an art group in Raunds for many years and is my greatest supporter, critic and an inspirational mentor.

I studied Art and Design at Art College, and later an MA in the History of Art.  I am an active member of Kettering & District Art Society,  the Society of British Wildlife artists, the FPAA and have won a number of awards and prizes over the past few years for my artwork, exhibiting locally and beyond.

Whilst I love many areas of the British Isles, particularly Scotland, Yorkshire, The Peak District, Snowdonia and Pembrokeshire, I am proud to live and work in beautiful Northamptonshire and to be a part of NOS.
