In September 2015, Sharon was diagnosed with a rare auto-immune disease and began taking pictures of birds as a distraction from the medications and treatments. Her goal was to document different species of birds on her 22 acre pond in Milton, Vermont. To date, she has documented 90 species of birds and continues to take photos most every day of birds and other wildlife at Pond House. Many of her photographs have been taken in her yard but others have been taken throughout Northern Vermont. Sharon uses a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ70, a Nikon P900 camera, and Nikon D5600.

In December 2016, Sharon created her first bird calendar and “Pond House Birds Photography” was born. In January 2017, she joined the Milton Artists’ Guild and began displaying her work in their art center and gallery in April. Since then, her photographs have been displayed at numerous libraries throughout Vermont (Milton, Burlington, Williston, Richmond, and more) as well as at the Northwestern Medical Center in St. Albans, University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, Snow Farm Winery in South Hero, Vermont Federal Credit Union in South Burlington and the Jericho Town Hall. She has participated in numerous arts and craft shows in Vermont including the Art and Stroll in Milton, South End Art Hop, Arts Alive at Main Street Landing, Waterbury Art Fair, Festival of the Arts in Cambridge, Vermont Hand Crafters Show and the Vermont Flower Show. Her birds have been featured at the Missisquoi Wildlife Refuge in Swanton and the Birds of Vermont Museum.in Huntington.  Sharon is a member of the Milton Artists' Guild, Vermont Craft Council and South End Arts and Business Association.,
