Sharon Snaylam is a professional artist/teacher. She is currently the Artist in Residence at Saltaire Primary School and is a freelance workshop facilitator for Bradford Museums & Galleries.
Sharon’s own work is in mixed media, which includes paper products, clay, found objects, printing techniques, and paint and inks. The work is a visual and written response to landscape: a record of journeys, memories and fragments of the walks Sharon has undertaken, which varies from different perspectives, distances, viewpoints and memories.
