Sharon White

A resident of Foxboro for over 30 years, Sharon White began oil painting in 2018 after some life changes. With just a desire to learn, Sharon began oil painting  instructions with artist Rosemarie Morelli at her Walpole studio. Just 2 short years into her training, the pandemic brought about serious challenges but Rosemarie’s  classes continued with virtual lessons and then under a tent for outdoor sessions until the studio could reopen safely. To augment her art training, Sharon has worked with several other local artist in workshops and mentorships. 

​

Sharon’s love of art and respect for the growing number of artists in her life, lead her to take the next amazing step. When the opportunity arose to open an art gallery in her home town to promote the arts and provide a venue for so many talented local artists to display and sell there work, she jumped at the chance. And so, The Painted Fox Art Gallery came to be! 

​

When asked about her art, Sharon said this. “Art is my refuge. It brings me joy  to start with a blank canvas and create something beautiful. My mind is quiet when I  paint, it is peaceful. If my work inspires the same feelings of peacefulness in those  who view it, then I have succeeded.”
