Below are Sharon’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 acrylic on canvas paintings submitted to this competition.
Sharon DeLuccie Pogar is a contemporary artist whose work is hard to ignore. Bold color, geometric composition, and expressive, stylized forms define her visual world, one that sits comfortably between abstraction and figuration, exploring emotion, identity, and storytelling through fragmented human and animal imagery.
It all started in childhood, when a summer art school enrollment lit a creative spark that never went out. Over the years, Sharon developed an approach that feels entirely her own: precise yet spontaneous, structured yet free. At the heart of it is a belief she holds firmly: in abstract art, there are no mistakes, only evolution. That mindset gives her work its energy, its sense of discovery, and its strong design instincts.
Her paintings move across a wide range of territory. Multi-perspective faces, symbolic animal forms, and whimsical characters are all fair game for Sharon, who shifts freely between themes of transformation and duality and moments of pure playfulness. What ties it together is her fearless command of color. Bright, contrasting hues do more than decorate; they create movement, set a rhythm, and carry an emotional charge that hits before the viewer even has time to analyze it.
For Sharon, art has never been just about what's on the canvas. She sees creativity as something genuinely connective, a language that transcends barriers and has real power to heal and inspire. That conviction shapes her broader vision of bringing art into the lives of underserved communities and individuals with special needs, where expression and empowerment go hand in hand.
She keeps painting, keeps pushing, and keeps growing. Sharon's work remains vibrant, personal, and alive, an open invitation into a world where color, form, and emotion tell stories that are as universal as they are her own.
My work explores emotion, identity, and storytelling through bold color, geometric pattern, and stylized form. I'm drawn to the space between abstraction and figuration, where recognizable subjects begin to fragment and shift into something more expressive. By breaking down human and animal forms into structured shapes, I build layered compositions that hold multiple perspectives at once.
Color is central to everything I do. Vibrant, saturated hues communicate feeling as much as they create visual impact, forming a language that invites emotional response over analysis. Contrast, balance, and repetition guide the eye while generating tension and movement throughout each piece.
My process lives between intention and intuition. I care about composition and structure, but I leave room for spontaneity, rooted in my belief that in abstract art, there are no mistakes, only evolution. That freedom allows each piece to develop naturally, through a dialogue between control and release.
My imagery ranges from fragmented faces and stylized animals to narrative-driven scenes, moving between deeper themes of transformation and duality and moments of pure whimsy. My artistic journey began in childhood at summer art school, a spark that never left me and continues to shape how I work and why.
At its core, my art is about connection: between color and form, artist and viewer, emotion and expression. I want my paintings to make people pause, feel, and find something personal in what they see. Through geometry, color, and intuition, I strive to create work that is both visually alive and genuinely meaningful.
