Dear Brushstrokes Customers:
My name is Sharon Teal-Coray and
I have been in the fine arts field since 1970, when I started studying
painting with oil paints on canvas. I studied every subject possible and
found that my greatest pleasure was painting American Indians and past
civilizations and the scenery and flora of the southwest.
In 1978, I opened the Shining
Feather Art Academy for Women and started teaching other women like
myself to paint. I love seeing my student’s progress and grow in their
abilities.
In the past, I have had my oil
works in many galleries in the southwest and have been in numerous art
shows, exhibits and auctions. To my delight, I won many awards. I worked
with oils exclusively for many years, until 2000, when I decided to try
something different and started developing my skills with acrylic paints.
This started me on a very exciting adventure! I have developed a new real
passion for acrylics and have achieved ways of making them work and look
like my oils. I love what I am doing now more than any time in my life.
I love sharing my patterns and
techniques with you! I have met so many wonderfully nice people at
conventions and classes. I look forward to many more "painting" years!
Sharon
