Graphite Pencil Drawings, Giclée Prints, and Note Cards - Also Featuring Mystic Swan Jewelry -- One Artist, Two Mediums
When creating artwork my fascination with the mystical world intertwines with my love of nature. I am in awe of the natural wonders that surround us; be it wide vistas, intimate views of vegetation, incredible wildlife or animals found on a farm. I am captivated by stories of myth, lore, spirituality and fantasy and these themes also appear in my drawings and are the primary focus of my jewelry creations. I hope that you enjoy browsing through my shop and if you have any questions be sure to contact me.
My jewelry is created by the lost wax process, spending numerous hours sculpting wax, capturing form and detail and apply the sculptural form to a functional piece of jewelry. It is then casting them in sterling silver.
My drawings also require much time to complete, 40 - 150 hours each, depending on the size and complexity. I approach my artwork from the viewpoint of a naturalist, composing graphite drawings to accurately reflect the texture, detail and intricacy of the environment and subjects that are my focus. While drawing I also attempt to capture the mystical connection I feel to the world around me, be it in the subtlety of composition or in mystical themes.
Returns: I want you to be delighted with your purchase, if you are not pleased, I accept returns within 14 days of the receipt of your order.
A note about shipping: I prepare and mail your order in a timely fashion. USPS first class mail is the most economical method of shipping and is free with all orders over $35, but does not include insurance. It is up to you to purchase insurance for your item if you desire it, I do not cover undelivered items or those stolen by porch pirates. When I create a shipping label you will receive a notification that includes a tracking number, it is the same information that I have and don't have any more insights as to where your package may be if delivery is delayed. That said, delivery delays are unusual, and after filling over 1000 orders, only 1 package has failed to arrive at its destination.

5 out of 5 starsThis Spirit Mountain Goat Medallion is my second medallion purchase from SharonBerkanDentART. My first purchase is the Spirit Hawk Medallion, one which with an exception, I have worn this Hawk Medallion for the five years that I’ve been working with the medicine of Spirit Hawk. The medicine of the Mountain Goat has made its appearance for a while now and talk about synchronicity — to find the Spirit Mountain Goat Medallion! Gratitude and Joy! I absolutely love this new medallion and will cherish this one as i do the hawk medallion. All of Sharon’s Dent Art is absolutely magical, so full of strength and spirit and beauty!

The idea and a beginning sketch are the first part of the process -- I love being inspired by a new idea. -

After the layout is complete I sculpt the entire piece in wax starting with the background, adding figures and details -

The wax is mounted in a flask, fired in a kiln, the wax melts and molten metal is poured into the void left by the wax -

It's always exciting to see the cast metal emerging from the plaster after casting -

The finishing process includes removing excess metal by hand saw and grinders, rough polishing, patina and final polish
Inspirations that travel from thought through wax to metal to wearable works of art.
I've always been an artist. I've worked in a wide variety of media, but always felt I was strictly a two-dimensional designer specializing in pen & ink as well as computer design -- that is, until I took a jewelry class. I had been working with hand painted textiles and adding beadwork to them, but unhappy with the durability of my end product so took a jewelry class to see if I could learn any techniques to make those pesky beads stay on securely. After my very first night of class I had found a new passion - making jewelry.
So that was the beginning of my journey into the world of jewelry and sculpture in miniature. My work has evolved a great deal since that first class and I'm excited to keep following my path to see where it leads and what wonderful characters I will get to know and create along the way.

It's just me -- I'm the one that draws out the designs and I sculpt the wax for each jewelry design and cast it, I do all the photography, and package each order. My favorite part of the process is being inspired by a new idea and sculpting wax.
