Sharron Astbury-Petit was born in Wickersley, Yorkshire and works from her studio in Leeds.
Her paintings are characterized by experimentation and a combining of media to better explore different themes, interweaving disciplines to create a personal and evolutive reality. Largely figurative and rich in symbolism, her work seeks to question and to pay homage to the seduction of the intangible.
Member of Leeds Fine Artists, associate member of the Society of Graphic Fine Art, associate member of the Société des Artistes Français (medal winner 2011 Paris Salon), and member of the Société du Salon d’Automne de Paris.
She exhibits both nationally (including as a non-member of the New English Art Club (prize winner 2018), Royal Society of British Artists and Society of Women Artists) and internationally (Japan, Denmark, China, Portugal, France, Belgium).
Her work has been awarded 20 art prizes and 4 medals.
