Sharon K.

With the dream to study art abroad in an internationally competitive program, Sharon, who currently lives in Nairobi, Kenya, joined the Premier Portfolio Program to develop her portfolio. This year-long program with its online format and accelerated method of training allowed her to rapidly improve her drawing skills, learn painting, build her abilities to a competitive level, as well as gain confidence in contemporary and classic techniques to meet US college requirements. While the 9-hour time difference made it challenging, Sharon took advantage of class recordings to make it work. She built a one-of-a-kind, highly personalized portfolio with most pieces created from family photographs or direct observation.
