Sharone Halevy is an American artist, director and teacher based in NYC.
Building on the American school of Abstract expressionism Halevy is exploring surface treatment of the canvas whilst referring to her background in the theaters through vibrant color compositions and poetic reflections. The paintings are influenced by people’s stories, inspirations and hopes, and sound is foundational to the process. Halevy views her work as a play of memory; “ I find our memories to be unreliable in many ways. We may not remember every detail, color, or what was said, but what tends to stick with us is how we felt during that experience. That is what I try to capture. No matter how big or small of a memory or thought. I love bringing those feelings to life through languid explosions of color and texture”.

It was in 2014 that Halevy started painting. As Sharon states; “I was completely self taught. I wanted to work through and explore what I was experiencing in a tactile way and painting opened something up within me that was vulnerable yet expressive. It felt like a way to turn a moment in my life into something beautiful. I created my first abstract work completely by accident, posted it to Instagram, and received my first commission.”

Trained at the Maggie Flannigan Studio and the Atlantic Theatre Company Conservatory, Halevy has worked with several companies including The Atlantic Theater Company, The Public, Roundabout, The York, and Crashbox, while also developing new work with companies like the The Musical Theatre Factory, New York Musical Theater Festival, 5th Floor Theater, St Ann’s Warehouse and more.

Sharone Halevy’s work is currently represented in collections in New York to LA, Israel, London, Canada, South Africa, and Australia.
