In 2001 she was awarded a Bachelor of Arts (Arts) from Curtin University. She has also been awarded a Certificate IV in Training and Education in 2011.
The themes of Sharyn’s work are informed by the experiences of her life as a Noongar woman. Sharyn works in a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture and woven forms using traditional and contemporary fibres. Her woven works include traditionally styled contemporary forms and baskets, as well as sculptural forms often based on flora and fauna that have totemic significance for the Noongar people. Her works of oils, natural ochres, resins and acrylics on canvas as well as natural fibre woven sculptures are informed by her experience growing up at New Norcia and comments upon the associated trauma, emotions and a deep sense of loss and displacement experienced by Aboriginal people.
