Sharon Okun Art
Canadian
Sharon Okun was born in 1976 in Toronto, Canada. At the age of 19 she traveled to Florence, Italy, where she studied Art History while assisting in an Art restoration workshop. In Italy she studied classical painting techniques derived from the realist ateliers of the 17th -19th centuries and found representation in Galleries in the U.K, France, America and Canada. In 2012 Sharon moved her studio practice back to Canada where she is focused on completing commissioned work for private clients and collectors. Her current studio that she shares with her husband Adam Markovic (also an accomplished artist) is in a small village of Queenston in Niagara on the the Lake.(Biography provided by Sharon Okun)

Dibujo a la manera de Velasquez (Drawing in the Manner of Velasquez)
By Fernando Botero
Located in Palm Desert, CA
A drawing by Fernando Botero. "Dibujo a la Manera de Velasquez" is a portrait, charcoal and pastel on cardboard in an earth-tone palette by Latin American artist Fernando Botero. It is signed upper right, "Sobre Velazquez Botero -1-27-60 Para Rita. el recuerdo de uno payaso".
Fernando Botero, best known for his voluptuously rotund human figures, was born in Medellín, Colombia on April 19, 1932. His father died when he was young, and he was raised by his mother, along with his two brothers. He attended a Jesuit school in Medellín and from the age of 12 to 14, he attended a matador training school. The bull fight became a recurring theme in Botero’s early work and while he was in his early teens, he sold his pictures of bull fights in front of the arena.
By the time he was 16 years of age, Botero was working as an illustrator for the local magazine El Colombiano. He also began writing articles about art theory, one of which, entitled Picasso and Non-Conformity in Art, led to his expulsion from the Jesuit school for its endorsement of Cubism. One of Botero’s important early works, Woman Crying...
