Sharon Van Winkle
I am a Wyoming native, born in Sheridan, WY. Growing up, I loved the mountains, wildflowers, wildlife and any other wonderful creation of Mother Nature that we enjoy here in Wyoming.
My interest in photography has been a 30-year evolution, having purchased my first 35mm SLR camera in 1978. I love throwing on a backpack with camera in hand and "heading for the hills". With wildlife and wildflowers being my subjects for many years, I looked up one day to see the beautiful surroundings we enjoy. Thus, landscapes and scenery became my next and most photographed subjects.
I have now entered the digital world and am addicted to it!! That special moment in time that we want to preserve as a lasting memory has inspired Moments to Memories Photography, born from my passion for photography and love of those special moments that have become lasting memories for my family.
About five years ago I decided it would be wonderful if I could also paint my photographs. My dear friends, Sandy & TR, assured me it was possible and set out on a mission to teach me to paint with oils and acrylics. More recently I have attempted watercolors. While still learning to transform my photos into paintings, I have found I enjoy it very much. My work can be found in private collections in Massachusetts, Nebraska, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Germany, to name a few, and my work is also juried into a local art gallery.
