Sharon Louden

Sharon was a great speaker. She was extremely engaging and enthusiastic with her lecture.  I found her work very interesting.  She used glow in the dark paint on papers that she installed in a 3D space to push the limits of painting. She also had another piece that was hair hanging form the ceiling… Strange but very well executed.  She’s done a lot of work for big name corporations OH and she has her own color paint, it’s glow in the dark blue ha  I was very struck by the idea that an artist with a formal, figurative background (like Sharon) could go on to create such conceptual work. This is an idea that I’ve been pondering since I’ve arrived here at Tyler.  I would very much like to learn more about her work and plan on emailing her sometime.
