About Us
 

Sharron Stephenson, Artist/Owner
 
 

 

 

Sharron was born in North Central Kansas in 1964 and found her love of art at an early age.  Early in her school years, she could be found drawing various pictures to  express what she saw in the world around her and began entering art competitions while still in elementary school.  Sharron’s love for art flourished and she continued her education in the field of Art Education and Art Therapy at Fort Hays State University in Hays,  Kansas. 

 

She was commissioned by the Dane G. Hansen Museum to create a picture exemplifying a partnership with the Smithsonian Institute.  Sharron also created a portrait of well known author/Illustrator, Patricia Pollacco in 1994 as a commissioned gift from an elementary school.

 

After obtaining a degree in Art, Sharron continued to expand her knowledge and completed a M.S. degree in the field of Special Education while at the same time also creating her own Art Studio business in her hometown. 

 

Since moving to Texas in 2003, Sharron has continued to pursue her passion of creating art and has many pieces in private collections throughout the United States.  Her new art studio & gallery can be viewed in the photos on this website and has added many more opportunities for expressing and sharing a love of creating unique pieces that are sure to please her customers.

 

 
Company history
Visions Art Studio and Gallery grew from Sharron's lifelong dream of being able to touch people with her artwork. She strives by the quote of Claude Monet "People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it's simply necessary to love."
 
Sharron utilizes her growing up in Kansas, as a firm belief in people and the past. She also gives recognition of the Native American men and women of the past for which we have the rich and bountiful history to be proud to call our own.
 
It is Sharron's hope that in each of her pictures, the viewer will have a sense of emotion. To feel as though the picture is trying to tell them a story of the past or present.
 
To be assured of authentic costumes and weapons, Sharron relies upon many historical books, museums, as well as Native American Pow Wow's. For her Southwestern Style protraits, Sharron primarily uses pastels to acquire the bold colors usually associated with the vivid, expressive colors within the environment and seen in our beautiful landscapes. In addition to pastels, she uses high quality colored pencils and pastel pencils on Canson Mi-teintes paper.
