Sharon started working in performance based art when she was fourteen with a self-devised puppet show that toured local markets. After completing a BA in Film Theory and Communication from the University of Queensland and making her first short films on Super 8, Sharon gained 4 years of film industry training and work in post production on 16mm and 35mm films including the feature film 'Evil Angels' by Fred Schepisi. A post graduate degree in Film and Television from Swinburne(now Victoria College of the Arts) led to more independent work in filmmaking. In 2004 she won the Best Film award at the New York Short Film Festival for her 9 minute short "The Deep Pool" and since has been employed in documentary and education. Recent film works include a music video and a documentary film for Austrian Television. Sharon currently tutors at primary schools in filmmaking. In 2009 one of the films she created with students won the best screenplay in the Shorts Online Student Film Festival and in 2008 the same school was a finalist at  TropJr with a film they created with Sharon.
