Her work has appeared in magazines, literary journals, and newspapers, and on radio and television across Canada. Sharons column, Fun With Pataphysics is part of Word: Canadas Magazine for Readers + Writers and has been collected into chapbooks by BookThug and above/ground press. She photo-documented Toronto literary events for five years (2002-7) and posted thousands of photographs at Poetography.ca. In 2006, her first solo photo exhibition (about Torontos mysterious I Love You graffiti) received national media attention, and she curated a group show about urban art as part of The Scream Literary Festival. In 2007, Sharon plans to finish an illustrated manuscript that is a six-year long cultural study of the words, I love you. Her online home is www.iloveyougalleries.com.
