Sharon C. Bechtold
As a third generation artist Sharon grew up around a variety of materials, tools and the
encouragement that have been instrumental to her development. After completing studies in
commercial art, fine art, and photography, Sharon worked as a graphic designer in the family
business.
Her oil paintings, watercolors, and burnings, have won numerous awards and been represented by
galleries throughout the Chicago area.
Since 1988 she has taught art both at the college level and children’s classes. During the last 7 years
she has devoted herself exclusively to Pyrography, developing her own unique style, based on
renaissance art principles, in order to render a highly realistic image with emotion.
Her passion lies not only in creating art but in sharing what she learns and inspiring others to join her
in the exciting journey that this art form provides. Her teaching approach is highly personalized
encouraging her students not only to learn the methods but to find their own “voice” so that their art
reflects their unique personality.
