Sharon Kyle is known for her use of texture and materials. These sculptural assemblages and mixed media pieces explore the basic elements of change in our life. She uses materials often discarded or left behind and gives them the presentation they deserve. Sharon grew up in an industrial part of Houston. She worked in commercial real estate for several years and later went on to attend the art program at New York University. She received her BS in art education in 1996 and began working in the education industry while dividing her time for many years between art and educational sales. She has shown in a variety of institutions and has participated in artist residencies at Virginia Center for the Arts and Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts in Wyoming. She is now a full time artist and shares her time between Houston and Northern California.
