Sharon Thiergartner

Hello!

I am a Colorado based artist with expertise in graphic design, illustration, photography and product design.

My early recognition from Photographer’s Forum Magazine during my high school years was the impetus in my artisic journey. I pursued studies at the renowned Columbus College of Art and Design, where I graduated with honors, majoring in Media Studies.

In seeking new horizons, I made my way to San Francisco, a city that would become the canvas for my creative endeavors. In the heart of San Francisco, I immersed myself in the vibrant world of art and design. My internship at SURFACE Magazine provided invaluable insights into the industry, laying the foundation for my multifaceted career. From freelance graphic design projects to the art of screen printing, illustration, and product design, I explored various media, and established my own screen printing business and Film Noir-inspired fashion line, Lady Noir.

Continuing to expand my artistic repertoire, I enrolled in the UC San Diego Extension Program: Children’s Book Illustration and various graphic design courses at San Francisco City College to expand my skill set.

My artistic expression knows no bounds. I love to seamlessly blend various media such as ink, charcoal, watercolor, photography and digital techniques. My whimsical illustrations capture the imagination, bringing narratives to life with a unique and captivating flair.

One of my favorite long term projects is my tarot-inspired pet portraits. A testament to my love for animals, these creations add a touch of magic to the world of pet portraiture. I work intimately with my clients to capture the unique personalities of their beloved pets and to create a timeless portrait that will honor them for a lifetime and beyond. To check out some of these portraits, visit my shop, here.

In addition to commissions for portraiture, I have also worked with many established companies to produce graphics for print, web, brand design, and social media.

Some of my clients include:
