CAA’s Artist of the Month: Sharon Belinsky
Artist Statement: I have always been fascinated by human beings: their complex psycho-social nature and their physical form. After obtaining a graduate degree in clinical social work, and working full time as a child and family therapist, I started taking courses and workshops in painting and lithography. I have studied under Daniel Greene, Joe Hing Lowe, Tim Gados, and other accomplished but less renowned painters of the human form and face. I am an award winning member of the New Jersey Pastel Society, Community Arts Association, and Tuesday Painters.
