Sharon Cranston

Sharon’s art captures more than landscapes—it tells a story shaped by her journey from the UK to Nova Scotia. Raised near Georgian Bay, her early experiences rooted her passion for the Canadian landscape.

Sharon’s work was first shown in the Loft Gallery at The Local store in 2016 when she had a studio in Bloomfield, Prince Edward County.  She moved to Lunenberg, Nova Scotia a few years later, but still shows her work as an “alumni’ artist of the Loft Gallery 

An award winning artist, Sharon’s is a member of the Society of Canadian Artists, Pastel Artists Canada and the Pastel Society of America. She also mentors artists online as a Master Artist with Mastrius.

For Sharon, art is more than a medium of expression; it is an avenue for growth and discovery. She is dedicated to challenging herself to experiment and explore new perspectives. Each painting becomes a visual diary, recording her journey, her observations, and her attempts to translate those moments into a shared experience.

An avid plein air painter, Sharon enjoys painting on location, fully immersing herself in the environment she seeks to capture, allowing her to impart authentic and immediate expressions of her surroundings.
