Born in Michigan, USA, Sharon Cunningham takes pride in her diverse ancestry, which includes Monacan heritage (Native American), influencing the rich tapestry of her poetry. Relocating to Southern California at the age of ten, she discovered her passion for creative writing amidst the scenic backdrop of the San Gabriel mountains. Growing up under the watchful gaze of nature, Sharon developed a profound love for the outdoors and animals. Despite the demands of work and family during her early years as a wife and mother, she dabbled in writing, but it wasn't until her children were grown that she could fully embrace her craft.
In 2015, Sharon dedicated herself wholeheartedly to writing, producing volumes of poems and poetic narratives. Her collection reflects a spectrum of emotions, from evocative to flirtatious, always thought-provoking. Sharon's work delves into the nuances of love and life, aiming to instill a passion for exploration and a hopeful embrace of the joys that the heart can both imagine and experience.
Acknowledged and cheered for her talent, Sharon Cunningham's distinctive blend of poetry and artistry earned the playful label "poe-art-try," affectionately dubbing her the "Poe-art-tess." Through her words, she weaves a narrative brimming with passion, inspiration, and a relentless exploration of the human spirit.
