Art was a major part of Sharon’s life. She was a gifted artist, quilter and loved all things that were done by hand which showed in her exquisite hand work in embroidery and wool work. Many people recognized her yearly as she sold crafts in the commercial building at the Coshocton County Fair. She traveled all over Ohio for many years selling crafts. Her quilting, hand embroidery and wool work was recognized numerous times at the fair and Ohio State Fair.
The Rose of Sharon Retreat in Coshocton was inspired and created by her daughters in honor of their mother. Taking classes and learning new things was always a joy. Another group that Sharon was a charter member of was called NAGs (Needle Art Group). They meet monthly to stitch and share ideas and techniques. Sharon mentioned at one time she always felt at home with a brush in her hands. The results were beautiful works of art that received numerous awards at many fairs, The Ohio State Fair and Art Guilds across the state. She taught painting classes in oils and watercolors for many years at our local vocational school. Including her love of the arts was going to Broadway plays with her favorites being “Beauty and the Beast” and “Hairspray.” Sharon was an avid follower of the pianists of the Montgomery Piano Competition.
