Sharon SHAPIRO
Sharon Shapiro has exhibited nationally at venues including SPRING/BREAK (NYC), the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington (VA), Garvey Simon, and the Gadsden Museum of Art (AL). Her work has been supported by several residencies (Ucross, Jentel, Ragdale, Hambidge, and the VCCA) and grants, including two from the Virginia MFA.
“My work delves into the intricacies of female identity and the multi-faceted experience of growing up in the American South. My sources include staged photographs of women, candid iPhone shots, and found imagery. I examine the impact of this culture on pleasure and leisure, exploring nostalgia, memory, and womanhood.”
