Hello All - Because of COVID-19, the scheduled June 2020 solo show of my artwork at Alma Mater Art Space was cancelled. In its place, I welcome you into my home for a ten minute-long video, featuring an artist talk and tour of my collage show entitled "I had the strangest feeling". https://sharonstyer.com I started making collages on a lark because I had so many printed images of my photographs. The work became so enjoyable and compelling that I shifted my focus from photography to collage. I don't have preconceived ideas of what a piece will look like when I start the work. Even if I do have a goal for a piece, collage has a mind of its own and turns a piece away from my original idea. This video is posted at the Home Page of my website. If you click on the collage page, you'll be able to see many of my collage pieces that were not featured in the video. ( https://sharonstyer.com/collages/ ) I want to thank the City of Tacoma's Office of Arts & Cultural Vitality for their generous recognition of my work through the Tacoma Artist Initiative Program grant. The funding from this grant is responsible for the production of this show. In particular, I want to thank Naomi Strom-Avila, Funding & Cultural Program Manager; Amy McBride, Tacoma Arts Administrator; and the Tacoma Arts Commissioners. The Arts Commission is a 15 member volunteer board that works behind the scenes funding and developing art programs and projects throughout the city. The City of Tacoma is known for its support of artists and it is these people who lead this support. I appreciate your taking time to look at my work. Thank you, Sharon Styer
