BIOGRAPHY

Photographer Sharon MacDonnell has won awards from the Canadian Association of Photographic Arts and the local art community. Her work has appeared in regional and national publications such as Photolife Magazine, Canadian Wildlife, Westworld and The Georgia Strait. She has taught darkroom techniques at the college level and been a guest lecturer to professional photography students

A 1999 graduate of the North Island College Professional Photography Program, Sharon has developed a bold, contemporary style. With an eye for detail, her images have a certain ease and elementariness without being too simplistic. Clean, uncluttered lines are the result of thoughtful restraint. When working with people she captures striking portraits by choosing that moment when art, design and timing align. Paying homage to ordinary moments by transfusing them with natural elegance.

Passionate about the great outdoors she draws her inspiration from nature and it’s simple beauty. She lives with her husband and daughter on Canada’s rugged west coast surrounded by rivers, mountains, forests and the ocean.
