Sharon Lessard, born in Arlington, VA 1963. Daughter of a Foreign Service office, she lived abroad her entire childhood, returning the the US in 1979. Studied Art History and Painting from 1981-84, at George Washington and University of South Florida, she graduated in 1984 from USF. Her career, much like her childhood, has taken her to multiple points of the world: Washington, DC, Florida, New York, Columbus, Minneapolis, Europe, Hong Kong and Shanghai. When Sharon is not designing a new retail format, or painting a new piece, for leisure, she entertains at home with friends and travels for pleasure experiencing new and exciting places, people and things...'Life is about living....not watching it 'pass you by'.
