Early Life and Education
- Born in Dartford, Kent, United Kingdom in 1874, Dorothea Sharp began her artistic training relatively late, at the age of 21.
- She funded her education with an inheritance of £100 from an uncle, allowing her to attend the Richmond Art School under C.E. Johnson RI.
- Further studies at the Regent Street Polytechnic brought her work to the attention of George Clausen and David Murray, who recognized her talent.
Artistic Development & Influences
- A pivotal moment in Sharp’s artistic journey was her time in Paris, where she encountered the works of the Impressionists, particularly Claude Monet.
- Monet's influence led her to adopt a highly impressionistic and spontaneous style that characterized her work for the rest of her life. She embraced capturing fleeting moments and the effects of light.
