BIOGRAPHY

Sharon Adamson is a talented early-career artist and artsworker at Tjala Arts. Sharon’s paintings are bold and vibrant, marked by fearless brush strokes and invigorating palettes. Sharon paints the Wanampi Tjukurpa (Water Snake Dreaming) referencing the work of her great grandfather, celebrated senior artist Tiger Palpatja. The Wanampi ancestors are important to Anangu as they bring rain and fill the waterholes and today, they live in the Mutitjulu waterhole at Uluru.

Sharon has exhibited widely across Australia and has had solo presentations at Chalkhorse Gallery (2020), and Short St Gallery(2021). Sharon’s work has been acquired by Artbank and sits in numerous private collections.
