Sharon M. Dundee received her BFA from Youngstown State University (YSU) where she followed two divergent paths – painting/art history and graphic design/desktop publishing – the latter became her main career focus for more than 30 years. Additionally, she brought her experience and inspiration to students at YSU as part of the adjunct faculty in design and typography. Specializing in abstract-expressionist analogue collage and mixed media painting, she has exhibited her work nationally in the US including at the Butler Institute of American Art and the McDonough Museum of Art both in Youngstown, OH, Erie Art Museum, Erie PA, the d’Art Center, Norfolk, VA, and the Hera Art Gallery, RI.
