Hold on to me

"Hold on to me. When you're faced with the unknown. When you don't know what direction to take. When you can't see light in the dark. Hold on to me. When the future is uncertain. When you can't drown out the noise. When the pain won't subside. Hold on to me. When it's all too hard. When life isn't fair. When your heart is broken. Hold on to me. When justice isn't served. When hope seems gone. When all you can do is hold on to me...I will be here. I won't let you go.

This emotive and expressive artwork - the breathtaking palette knife strokes - the coast - all speak life to my soul. I hope it inspires you to hold on too when it's all you can do to face another day."

Created on 12 oz stretched cotton canvas and framed in a solid Tas Oak timber frame, it has been satin varnished and will come with a COA which includes the artist statement above. Thank you for pausing to consider "Hold On To Me".

NB: While every effort is made to capture the true colours and details of my artwork, every screen is different and art viewed online does not do my work justice. Slight differences may be evident between a screen image and the true tone and textures of my work, which is more vivid and beautiful in reality. Scale may also be slightly off due to the insitu art app used, so please ensure you measure your space.

“…painting stories evoking light and hope.”

Sharon Rynehart is an impressionist palette knife artist widely recognised for her flowing, expressive style of the sea, land and sky. A former Interior Designer and Colour Consultant, Sharon had health issues a while ago that saw her turn to painting for therapy and healing. Transforming her creative practice into what she now calls ‘heartwork’; emotive, hope-fuelled pieces inspired by faith, connective memory and experience, and the beauty of our Australian coastlines and landscapes. Sharon uses her background in colour theory to create original artworks with beautiful colour harmonies that allow you to reflect on your own story; to finish the train of thought, to remember a time or place, and to explore and feel the emotions they instill. Artworks that are relatable, that invite you to reflect, force an exhale, evoke a sense of calm…and bring you hope.

Sharon enjoyed recent success as a Finalist in Art to Art’s acclaimed “Unearthed” Art Prize, and has been fortunate to have several of her artworks featured on Channel 9’s “The Block” TV show. She has also had pieces featured in Grand Designs Australia Magazine. Sharon has gallery representation in both Brisbane and Melbourne and apart from these galleries, her works can be viewed in person tri-annually at the Affordable Art Fairs in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

Now widely collected both in Australia and Internationally, Sharon’s pieces continue to resonate with many, inspiring calm and connection through an uplifting sense of place and emotion. They are a reminder to always look for light and hope…no matter the trials and challenges we all face.
