John Sharp lives on the Eastern Shore. He strives to depict, through his art, the culture of a life working on the water as well as the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay and Tidewater Region. With a lifetime of experiences, that include a career in education, and countless hours on the bay as a commercial waterman, charter boat captain, and recreational sailor, he has accumulated nearly a half-century of memories, observations, and experiences. With this background, he has had the rare opportunity to not only live, but also appreciate a way of life that may soon disappear forever.
I am both a Psychologist and a painter of people. I am fascinated with movement between people, be it physical, psychological, or emotional. I have a very personalized approach to portraiture which features certain important psychological realities of my subjects.
On occasion, I love to paint saucy birds, and charming vegetables as well.
I am currently working with water colors but have primarily worked with oils and acrylics. My interest in the Chesapeake Bay and Maryland are reflected in a lot of my paintings. Through continued coursework, I am expanding my skills and creativity. I am a member of ArtEast, Queen Annes County Council of the Arts, and also The Kent Island Federation of Arts.
