- Welcome!
- I'm the creative behind the art and design you'll discover at SCDesign.Sydney. Find unique gifts available from my Zazzle.com.au shop – these items can be on-demand printed and are perfect for sending a fun gift worldwide.
The shop includes greeting cards, mugs, cushions, t-shirts and more; many designs can be altered to your specific needs, high quality printed and delivered. Find a unique gift, décor solution or create a one-off product.
My recent work is illustrative, mostly cheerful and bright, often with a "dog lovers", plant or nature theme. The varied range of works displayed are inspired by life around Sydney including nature, botanical, animals and pets. From a sketched idea I'll often go through an intense process of simplification and refinement until the works are finally woven into colourful, contemporary designs with curls and twisting elegant lines. I aim for designs that are a celebration of Australian lifestyle, humour combined with an extra twist of fun. I enjoy the process of looking for solutions and working to my motto of "creating to make us both smile".Alternatively follow me https://www.facebook.com/sharoncowardart/

A broader look
If you require the dedicated efforts of a graphic designer or illustrator to create custom gifts or a pattern for an interior and can't find or create what you want in my shop then I would be grateful to have the opportunity to discuss with you how we could team together to work, create, learn and achieve.
Thanks so much for visiting my site.
Kind Regards
Sharon Coward

Further information
With a background in fine arts and graphic design I decided to delve into a new direction for SC Design Sydney in August 2019 partly as a result of my disappointment surrounding the increasing depressing information across the internet and media at large. I wanted to create something that would counter this, make people smile and remind them of how to see the funnier sides of life, an escape for a bit of a laugh, where kindness, calm and happier thoughts prevail. Through my art I hope to make a difference even if it is just a little smile on an otherwise serious face.
A New DirectionIn 2019, I primed the canvas with an idea, inspired by my dog Walnut, my love of nature, and my obsession to create art and started designing amusing, fun, feel-good cards and merchandise – opening a shop on Zazzle.com.au early 2020. I have been on a challenging path of learning since. My curiosity is broad and I like to experiment with a number of different genre including photography, sewing and more recently animation.
BackgroundWith an Associate Diploma in Graphic Design leading to a design career which has kept me grounded, alive and able to pay most of the bills :-) I have a background education in both fine arts and design and have worked in advertising, designing print magazines and in corporate environments.
