Building No. 16, oil on panel, 40 x 60 inches, 2009. Sharon Feder's life-long commitment to painting is intense and unrelenting. Her journey in painting has taken her from formal roots into the land of the abstract, to landscape, and back through portraiture and structural still life. Approaching painting as both an emotional communication with the observer and as technical challenge, Feder breaks rules and tests assumptions while exploring the communication that exists between shadow, reflection, and atmosphere.
