Glorious by Sharon Weir
Exhibition Dates: January 30-February 26, 2025
Reception Date: Saturday, February 15th from 1:00pm to 3:30pm
In my collection, Glorious, each piece serves as a manifestation of the dreamer search for
completeness and self-unity. These mandalas invite viewers to pause and reflect, encouraging an
examination of how the artwork transforms their inner landscape.
In a world often filled with tumult and distraction, these pieces offer a sacred space for
connection. As you engage with each mandala, I hope you find a moment of tranquility and
insight, allowing the art to guide you on your personal journey toward harmony and wholeness.
Embrace the stillness within the chaos, and may each mandala resonate with your unique path.
Sharon Weir is a lifelong creative whose artistic journey has evolved through multiple
mediums. Currently, she is captivated by the fusion of assemblage art and the ancient
practice of mandala making. Each time Sharon approaches a blank canvas, she
embraces the unknown, allowing her pieces to come to life through intuition and
emotion.
With years of experience teaching high school, Sharon finds that her connection to
creativity has been vital in maintaining her balance and sanity. A pivotal moment in her
artistic development came from a single assemblage class with the late Richard Allen
Wells, who inspired her to transition from two-dimensional to three-dimensional work.
This transformative experience ignited her current obsession with mandalas and the
study of sacred geometry, drawing from ancient interpretations to uncover hidden
wisdom.
Originally from Bakersfield, CA, she moved to Reno, NV in 1968 where she attended Hug
High School. Sharon’s life journey has taken her across the United States, enriching her
experiences and perspectives. She holds a master’s degree in teaching and finds joy in
working with teenagers, fostering their creativity.
When she’s not inspiring the next generation in the classroom, Sharon enjoys creating
art, playing with her poodles, or spending cherished moments with her grandchildren.
She is grateful for the unwavering support of her wife, who encourages her in all her
artistic and personal endeavors.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Friday 10:00am to 4:00pm and Saturday 12:00pm to 4:00pm
