Sharey Monk’s Antique Teacup Paintings Now Offered Online
Art buyers can now order open edition fine art prints of Sharey Monk’s impressionist oil paintings of antique teacups with a broad array of frame and mat combinations through a new online shopping portal.
Initially the artist has selected a collection of five original oil paintings of antique teacups from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s that display the attention to design and craftsmanship by the artisans of that era.
Various paintings in Monk’s antique teacup series have been juried into art exhibitions hosted by Oil Painters of America, American Women Artists, and the California Art Club. Monk’s work was profiled in the March issue of American Art Collector and Informed Collector magazine recently described her paintings as “A tribute to the great porcelain artisans of bygone eras; each painting reminiscent of a story lurking in the depths of each teacup.”
