She first became interested in art at a young age and grew up loving to sketch people, animals, and surroundings. In her early Twenties, her passion for art blossomed as she was inspired by the many galleries and museums she frequented in London while living abroad for a year. Grimes was a 2014 Hunting Art Prize finalist.
Grimes paintings were exhibited at Art Nou Milleni Gallery in Barcelona, Spain and Day2day Gallery in Collioure, France. Her work was included at New York Expo in New York City. Former solo shows include the Arts and Humanities Council in Texarkana, Texas; Elm Street Studio in Keller, Texas; and Arcadia Show in Tyler, Texas.
She was honored to judge the 57th Student Invitation of Longview Museum of Fine Arts as well as exhibiting her own work in the main gallery.
Sharon’s work can be found in private collections throughout the United States and Europe. She currently has a gallery in Longview,Texas at The Lab On Center and will be opening her Santa Fe Studio to the public by appointment.
