Artist, muralist, photographer, and founding member of Cherokee Artists' Association, Sharon Irla
has been taking commissions to create art for businesses and
multi-million dollar homes since 1999. One of her first commissions was
a 2-year project for several Trompe l'oeil murals, in an Italian Villa
styled residence. These well received, realistic murals were featured
on the home-design show called "Designing Texas".
Living and working in the Dallas area, Irla has enjoyed
the versatility that's required of a commissioned artist, muralist and
decorative artist - all rolled into one. Mastering techniques to
achieve a enough realism for a Trompe l'oeil (French for "to fool the
eye"), is the kind of challenge the artist thrives on and brings to her
paintings.
