Bio:

Sharon Aach, a self-taught and self-representing artist from the Belleville IL area, reverse paints mixed media material behind tempered glass panels.  Internally driven and passionate about her art, she strives to inspire and share joy through her vibrant glass paintings.  Her organic style, inspired by the powerful mechanisms of life and nature, has evolved throughout her lifetime.  “Like life, my work is an ever-changing process of discovery and connection, always evolving to meet the demands of inevitable change.”
Sharon, holding a master’s degree in anesthesia, retired from a 25 year medical career in the year 2000 to raise her 2 children.  She began practicing art on a fulltime basis in 2013.  In 2014 she formed her art and design company ‘SaachArt’, which is her fulltime occupation today.  Her art can be found in many places of business and healthcare facilities, as well as residential collections.
“Painting for me, like life, is constant movement and adaptation.   The creation process comes naturally to me, continually evolving to meet the demand for inevitable change.
