Overview

Sharon Walters considers Francisco de Zurbarán’s ‘Saint Margaret of Antioch’ in relation to her own practice.

Sharon Walters is a London-based artist and project curator whose series entitled ‘Seeing Ourselves', is an exploration of identity, beauty standards, and race through intricate paper cut-outs and hand-assembled collages. 

Since graduating with a degree in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts) in 2011, Sharon has developed her practice and continued her work with community arts organisations, galleries and museums including the National Maritime Museum, Soho House and the National Portrait Gallery, using them as platforms to explore and collaborate with voices of those who are often excluded and unheard. Her work has recently featured in group shows at Claridge’s ArtSpace curated by Ekow Eshun and the Gagosian curated by Péjú Oshin, while she is a mentor on the BBC 1 television programme ‘Make It at Market’.
