Sharon Merkel has been a professional artist for over 20 years, gaining recognition for her graphite drawings and prints through private commissions and gallery representation.     
 

Sharon’s passion for animals and her love of graphite as an art medium have inspired her drawings. An avid dog trainer for both bench and obedience shows, Sharon has a discerning eye for the physical features and the unique personality of the dogs she draws.

What her college degree in fine arts taught her about drawing, her treasured canine friends, Jester, Travis, Nikki, and Styles, taught her about what’s special about our dogs.

Although she draws animals of all kinds, including a series of endangered species for a corporate environmental report, she specializes in fine art drawings of dogs and horses.

She may be contacted at her studio by phone at 215-541-4353 or e-mail: skmerkel@skmerkel.com.
