ABOUT THE ARTIST
Sharra Myers Harvin is the founder and artist behind iHCULOCHi. She is deeply passionate about art, nature and combining the two to create art that holds the energy of Spirit’s intelligence to empower and liberate.
Sharra earned her BFA in Studio Art (Drawing) and MFA in Advertising (Art Direction). Although this experience gave her confidence in her field for employment, she realized that it was the experiences within it all that was preparing her to be the artist she was intended to be. True education, creativity, and inspiration comes from the knowing within. The years of education and the practices followed in order to thrive professionally needed to be forgotten in order to be free as an artist within to reflect true creativity outwardly.
Sharra’s art experience includes drawing, painting, graphic design, mixed media, surface design, illustration, fiber art, clothing design, product design, multimedia, and art therapy.
ABOUT HER MISSION
In addition to art and nature, Sharra is passionate about being an educator and mother of two whom she homeschools. She enjoys teaching the fundamentals of reading, writing, mathematics, and the road to true freedom and creativity. Knowing that everything we see and experience is created as a reflection of what lies within, Sharra’s method and practice of teaching is centered around allowing one’s sense of self to grow to know one’s true self. To know one’s true self is the key to living freely because to know one’s true self is to know that we are the creator of everything. Sharra finds that this knowledge of self to be supremely important and is something that needs to be restored and encouraged the most in all ages. This would provide a path free from anxiety, depression, stress etc., which are all sourced from the feeling of not having control fueled by fear. Being aware of our true self, we know that there is nothing out of our control because everything is our creation. This awareness as it is the knowledge that powers freedom is Sharra’s base in all that is created here in iHCULOCHi.
“The best part of being an artist is when you realized your creatIons are coming from an aspect of yourself that Knows. The worse part of being an artist is when you don’t realize this so you continuously judge your work based on the unknowing of those outside of you.”
