Sharon Louise Barnes’ ‘The Magic Within Us’ opening reception

Barnes has exhibited in galleries, universities, museums and art fairs, including group shows at the California African American Museum, the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Aqua Art Miami, the Los Angeles Tom Bradley Airport, and at the historic Arco Chato in Panama City, during her residency at Taller Portobello in Panama. She earned her B.A. in Telecommunications-Film and also studied at Otis College of Art & Design.

Born in Sacramento, CA and raised in Los Angeles, she is a rare fifth generation Californian descended from African Americans who fled into free black townships in Canada and later migrated into the free state of California. Their trials and transformational triumphs inspire her work.
