WHO IS SHARON COVERT?
Sharon Covert is a conceptual self-portrait artist and photography teacher/mentor. She teaches women photographers to explore and process their emotions and life experiences through self-portraiture and self-expression. Sharon's goal is for artists to have a creative healing outlet and voice through art and self-exploration. She creates art inspired by Fairytales, Mythology, the Tarot, nature, and all things in the magical realm. You will find hints of these elements threaded throughout her artwork.
Sharon's art has been published in several magazines, including The Sun, Click, Adore Noir, SHOTS, and F-Stop. Her self-portraiture has been featured in numerous juried art shows and exhibitions worldwide. Sharon is proud to be both a Lensbaby and Click Pro Ambassador.
