The work of Sharon Loper exemplifies an intensity of purpose, demonstrates a passion for excellence, and discloses an understanding and sensitivity to materials and the physical world. Loper imbues her work with active and communicative properties, thereby conveying the message that all living organisms share an intrinsic relationship which cannot be undermined by a human-imposed hierarchical order. 

In her sculptural work and solar etchings, Loper reveals that as an artist, she is both an alchemist and a visionary. Giving herself over completely to the creative impulse and process, Loper approaches two-dimensional work and sculpture similarly: always hands-on, she is emotionally and physically involved in the complex process of art making. 

Educated at the Otis Art Institute of UCLA, as well as with respected sculptor Joseph Martinek, second generation apprentice to Rodin, Loper has exhibited widely throughout the United States and Europe. An award winning sculptor, photographer and printmaker, her works have been exhibited at notable institutions such as Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ; the Triton Museum Of Art in Santa Clara, CA; Passage de Retz in Paris, France; Historiches Museum der Stadt in Vienna, Austria; Museum Villa Haiss, Germany; Museum Katten Kabinet in Amsterdam; Santa Cruz Museum Of Art & History in Santa Cruz, CA; Royal Botanical Gardens in Ontario, Canada; the Knoxville Museum of Art in Knoxville, TN; the German American Center in Stuttgart, Germany; and the Attleboro Art Museum in Attleboro, MA. Loper resides in Los Angeles and New York.
