Snapshot of the Author
Sharon Rege grew up in New York and developed a love for art starting at an early age. Attending college in NYC, she spent weekends exploring many of the great museums.

Our brains interpret how we see things - the quality of light, shapes & patterns, color, shadow, what is predominant & what is recessive. We see what we learned which constrains the way we actually interpret our visual experience. As an artist, she spends much of her time observing things in far greater detail, perhaps it is because of her engineering training. She lives in the Colorado foothills but is relocating to New England this year.
