Artist, Designer, Educator
Twice a week, watercolor artists from across the United States meet for a 2 and a half hour workshop hosted by Cecilia Sharma. Subjects include: Still Life, Perspective and Landscape paintings. Contact Sheilnex@gmail.com for registration.
On October 8th The Campion Renewal Center in Weston Massachusetts was the site of a special painting session for artists from several of Cecilia’s classes.
Cecilia demonstrated the techniques for creating sunlit clouds using a photo for reference. The demonstration was held in the Center’s beautiful and inspiring Chapel.
Following the session, all gathered together for lunch in the Center cafeteria.
The beauty of the late summer garden of Cecilia’s neighbor became the site of an August plein air workshop.
Artists gathered on a lovely day to paint their impressions of the garden guided by Cecilia’s demonstration.
Back at her studio refined her own painting, matted and framed it and presented it to her neighbor as a thank you for welcoming Cecilia and her artists to her garden.
The beauty of the rocky Maine coast again lured Cecilia and her artists to a summer workshop. A lovely old Maine cottage on the water housed the artists and provided a platform to view and capture the inspiring landscapes.
On June 20th the barn at Sudbury Valley Trustee’s Headquarters at Wolbach farm was converted to an art gallery for the annual Riverfest celebration. The River themed and outdoor themed artwork adorned the walls providing a beautiful back drop for the festive gathering of artists, family, friends and SVT supporters. Proceeds from the sale of the watercolor paintings went to the artist and SVT.
Join Cecilia for a free 2-hour outdoors watercolor workshop with demonstration and personal instruction. Students will explore watercolor landscape painting through natural light in an outdoor setting. For all levels, some experience in drawing and painting helpful but not required.

Despite the record breaking snow blanketing the area, a hearty group of artists, art lovers, Sudbury Valley Trustees supporters and local neighbors enjoyed the art of Cecilia and her talented artists at the benefit Art Show February 6-8. The theme of the show highlighted the landscapes, flora and fauna of the Tri-Town (Berlin, Boylston, Northborough) area.

Silent auction to support land protection
Cecilia’s student artists will be featured at Sudbury Valley Trustees (SVT) weekend Art Show at Berlin’s 1870 Town Hall. Original paintings and photographs, inspired by the natural beauty of Northborough, Berlin and Boylston will be on display and available as silent auction items or may be purchased at a special ‘Buy it Now’ price.
The artists’ work reflects the importance of SVT’s latest conservation endeavor in this region, the Tri-Town Landscape Protection (“Tri-Town”) Project. The Town of Berlin, the Town of Northborough, the Town of Boylston, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts join SVT in an effort to protect 500 acres of land that comprises quality habitat, working farms, and recreational trails. Working in a nine-square-mile area around Mount Pisgah and the Wachusett Reservoir, the group is striving to save an ecologically important and visually stunning landscape from further development.
Cecilia welcomes you to enjoy the work of many of her talented artists and learn more about the Tri-Town Landscape Protection Project.
