Creating art is how I remember where I’ve been, make meaning from ordinary moments, and hold onto the things that move me.

I’m Sharon Stallings, a Pacific Northwest artist based in Long Beach, Washington. Here, I create original acrylic paintings, mixed-media artwork, gelli prints, folk-inspired pieces, and fine art prints. My inspiration is shaped by the coast, ever-changing weather, wildlife, and the quiet stories hidden in everyday objects.

My process is layered and hands-on. Paint, texture, found materials, driftwood, paper, memory, and experimentation all leave their mark. Every piece carries a history of decisions, revisions, and surprises. Whether through digital innovation, printmaking, painting, or nature-based work, I believe art should feel lived in, personal, and connected to the world around us.

Art is one of the ways we share our stories.
