Sharon Arthur

Sharon Arthur has a B.S. degree in therapeutic recreation and a B.F.A. degree in painting and printmaking. She had a successful twenty-year career as an artist and a painter in oils on canvas, with a commercial fine art gallery in Duck, North Carolina.

She was a caregiver for her elderly parents for the past ten years, until their passing. She began writing poetry after her father’s death as an outlet for her grief. When her mother died, she began to write short stories as well. Both of her parents were professional writers, so she comes by her writing talent naturally. She feels her parents are helping her to write these poems—that their beautiful spirits still live through these words.

In addition to publishing The Wind Softly Murmurs: Poems of Family Love and Loss, Ms. Arthur had poems selected by Transcendent Zero Press for their literary magazine Harbinger Asylum, Vita Brevis Poetry Anthology and River Poets Journal.
