About the Artist & the Jewelry 

Sharon received a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Environmental Studies from UNC-Asheville in 1995, but her career plans changed when her personal life changed. Drawn to art since childhood, her creative urges led her to try a new medium, jewelry.  Self-taught, she has learned wire and metal techniques through observing, reading, and simple trial and error, learning that experience is the greatest teacher.

She grew up near the coast and spent a great deal of time there, hence the name Watergirl. "The sea and I, we've spent a lot of time together, and there's an unexplainable bond". She now lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and that area has influenced her work as well.

Her designs incorporate a lot of natural elements like gemstones, pearls, and shells; and the wire and metals provide the ideal contrast. The colored wire  is a nylon-coated copper  wire. Sterling, brass, copper [all non-tarnish] and steel are also used. 

Whenever she can, Sharon uses her work to help out charities via item or monetary donations.
