Shara Hughes — 'I wanted to paint like everybody. Interiors became the foundation where I could lay all different artists who have come before me into and onto the painting.' Shara Hughes

'I wanted to paint like everybody. Interiors became the foundation where I could lay all different artists who have come before me into and onto the painting.' Shara Hughes

2005

Shara Hughes's vibrant painting pulsates with an electric fusion of color, pattern, and organic form, transforming the interior space into a wildly imaginative environment where walls, floors, and foliage blur into one exuberant whole. Working in oil, acrylic, and pencil on canvas, Hughes layers her influences with fearless energy, channeling echoes of Matisse, Bonnard, and beyond into a composition that feels both deeply personal and reverently art-historical. The result is a jubilant interior that transcends mere domestic space, becoming instead a living, breathing homage to the history of painting itself.
