Dorothea Sharp (1873 - 1955)

Dorothea Sharp

Dorothea Sharp was a British Impressionist painter.

Her artistic style was shaped by the work of Claude Monet in Paris and remained until the end of her life. Dorothea Sharp's works are attracted by serene joy: a windy day, the cries of seagulls and children playing by the warm sea in bright sunlight. This was the world of Dorothea's childhood - the world of prosperous and affluent Victorian Britain. Dorothea's life also coincided happily with the dynamic development of the art world and the Women's Rights Revolution, which for the first time gave women artists the opportunity to participate in major public exhibitions.

Dorothea Sharp was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Society of Women Artists.
