Dorothea Sharp - part 1

Dorothea Sharp's reputation has become synonymous with images of children playing freely in nature, beautiful rippling waters and memories of days spent frolicking at the beach. Dorothea Sharp was born in Kent, UK in 1871. At the age of 21 she began her art education at Richmond art school and went on to study at the Regent Street Polytechnic. On arrival in Paris, Sharp was struck by the work of Claude Monet and this was to have a lasting effect. Sharp was a member of the Society of Women Artists and served as vice-president for four years. Sharp regularly exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists and The Royal Academy during the first half of 20th century, holding her first one-woman show at Connell Gallery in 1933. Sharps' highly impressionist style captured idyllic scenes across Europe but also closer to home where she captured the British coast in St. Ives and Bosham.
