Sharon Patrick
Sharon Patrick attended the University of New Mexico, Fine Arts College in the early 70’s. Later she worked in a
small jewelry manufacturing shop, where Sharon was given the opportunity to create jewelry from the design to a
finished piece of art. Learning the many steps first hand was the beginning of a beautiful awakening for her.
Sharon and her husband, Scott, moved to Scottsdale Arizona, where they worked with Circle Fine Arts to help design
and create limited edition Art to Wear jewelry for such artists as Erte, Vasarely, and Mucha. After eight years, they
returned to the Land of Enchantment where Sharon continued her passion of art with jewelry. Later she added a new
facet of creating: gourds carved, stained and adorned. She now combines her knowledge of jewelry with her creative
inspirations of gourds.
Sharon currently shows her gourds at the ‘Yucca Art Gallery’ in Old Town.
One of her gourds is on view in The Fine Arts Gallery at the 2007 New Mexico State Fair. Her jewelry
is shown in gift shops and many jewelry catalogs throughout the United States. Sharon is also a member of Rio Rancho
Art Association and New Mexico Gourd Society. Sharon's work can also be found on her own website at
