Sharon Singer is an award winning Dunedin based visual artist. Her work is held in private collections in New Zealand and internationally. She has worked with fairy tales and myth as the subject of her paintings since 2000, Invoking concerns such as narrative and meta-fictional awareness.
In more recent years her work has addressed the themes of Global warming, the Earths spiritual meaning and consumer value, either as a vast mystery or a source of consumable resources. Underpinning all is an interest in the human condition in relationship to nature.
