Early on Sharon’s childhood curiosity stimulated her keen observation of the patterns occurring in the natural world. Her houseplant playmates and the caregiving activities of the family garden, initially nurtured her imagination and inspired her to become an accomplished textile artist and a fabric development expert. Her fashion runway originals, some of which are conceived as organic collages or take form through the technique known as “solar” printing, are true examples of co-creating with nature literally, using it as the first palette and the source.
In the age of the over-digitized original textile prints and the industry spotlight on the “smart” fabrics with the claims to benefit our physical self, Sharon’s “intelligent” textiles are ahead of the curve by aligning with our core self and in harmony with a natural world. Rose of Sharon textile designs are embroidered, printed or appliquéd on variety of products.” Home furnishings, destined for the environment we live in now, “each design is created with the intention of opening the mind and heart to a wider universe; to open a part of the self that is ready to see in a deeper way.”
Liquid Amber intuitive work differs from the traditional aromatherapy. Sharon creates custom-blend formulas for a bath therapy with focus on the purification of the energy field that surrounds physical body. By rejuvenating and balancing our energy, the process towards health and overall wellbeing is accelerated. Defined by the ancients as the “moisture of love”, water is a great amplifier of the essential oil properties. Through a meditative contemplation, in a womb-like, reflective water state our psyche is awakened to fully surrender to the intense intimacy and the healing that is taking place.
