About Sharon van Wijngaarden

In 2012 I graduated from the art academy in Rotterdam, De Willem de Kooning academy. After that I started to train myself as a dogtrainer and behavioral therapist for dogs.

Early 2019 I took my camera out of the closet and started working with it. It took me some years to discover what I want to say as an image-maker, but I have now reached that point.

In my work I capture animals, where I try to emphasize their personality. My work as a dog trainer has convinced me that animals have their own personality and deserve a much more prominent place in our society than we sometimes give them.

​Hope you enjoy my work!
