SHARON的作品有她的獨到之處，尤其是設計，

可以看的出她的作品喜歡將一張畫面分成許多小區塊，

再將每個小區塊獨立成一體，用同性質但不同特質的畫面填滿而成，

切割畫面不是件難事，很多人也都有做過類似嘗試，

但主題卻常常被多畫面給拖垮，如何運用色彩融合鮮明的畫面，

就變成是一件難事了...

Sharon Elphick's training as a textile designer comes through in the "urban tartans" she creates on canvas. The earlier works focus on the patterns she finds in tower blocks from London, New York, Paris, Berlin and São Paulo. More recent work focuses on another feature of urban life: graffiti, along with other markings from roads, pavements, buildings.

Away from the urban, Elphick also has a fascination with all things horticultural, treating flowers and trees with the same photomontage techniques she uses for concrete and steel.

Elphick's striking technique and subject matter has resulted with her images being absorbed into "Brit Pop" fashion and furniture design.

Sharon Elphick藉由創造"urban tartans"的帆布，

來做為一個紡織設計者的訓練過程，

早期的作品著重在一些從

London,New York,Paris,Berlin and São Paulo所找到的摩天大樓圖形，

更多最近的作品則著重在其他城市的生活特色:

一些塗鴉和其他道路的記號，地磚，和建築物，

除了城市生活之外 Elphick也對所有的園藝作品深深著迷，

她把花和樹當成是那些她用來設計混凝土和鋼筋的蒙太奇照相技巧一樣，

Elphick的突出的技巧和主題，

造成了她的圖像被Brit Pop流行和家具設計所廣泛應用 !

上圖是SOPHNET委託她設計的LOGO，

隨後也將它製成短T販售...
