Shara Ladyzhensky is a New York City based artist. She creates realist drawings in pencil and oil paintings. Fantasy is an important element of her pictures, which are largely rendered from imagination. Many of her portraits depict people whom she knows intimately, and the pictures explore her unique relationship to each subject. In addition to making artwork, Shara devotes herself to studying artistic anatomy, linear perspective, and art history. She lives in Brooklyn and maintains a daily studio practice.

Two of Shara’s drawings were exhibited at the Manhattan Borough President’s office. She has also displayed drawings at Postmark Cafe in Brooklyn, and her work was featured on the website eatsleepdraw.com. In Fall 2018, her artwork was displayed at Ashok Jain Gallery in Manhattan. And she's excited to share that her drawing, “Woman with Braids,” was published in the Winter 2020 edition of Artists Network’s “Best of Drawing” magazine.

Shara’s art education includes studies at The Art Students League of New York and The Park Slope Art School.
