SHARON CHEKROUN

Living in Israel, Sharon grew up in a southern neighbourhood in Tel-Aviv, she was deserted by her father at the age of five and lived with her alcoholic mother to the age of fifteen.

Sharon is Jewish, her mother from Egypt and her father from Iraq. She seems to be forced into finding her sacred/secret place in the comforting colours of her painting and has developed her own artistry from sketches to acrylic painting on canvas, then fought to get a scholarship to find herself in one of the finest art schools in Israel, where she discovered the magic of "Fresco" in 1995.
