Shari Pedowitz Artistic Empire

Shari Pedowitz creates art that stops you in your tracks and pulls you in. Since 1987, the self-taught artist has produced more than 1,400 works alive with bold color, layered texture, and a signature shimmer that catches the light — and your attention — just when you least expect it.

 

You may have encountered her work in the Tisch Galleries at The Metropolitan Museum of Art or in permanent collections including the University of Delaware. Her art balances sensuality and optimism with a deliberate use of glitter that dances across surfaces, reflecting light, mood, and movement. Prestige flirts with play, indulgence is measured yet magnetic. Her colors are lush, her textures intentional, and every surface rewards a closer look, inviting your imagination to linger.

 

What began on canvas now spills into life. Her aesthetic lives in luxury textiles, fashion, and home décor, designed to surround you in color, shimmer, and energy. Each piece transforms the space it inhabits, sparks delight, and leaves a lasting impression long after you’ve experienced it.

 

Collectors can engage with her work directly through original paintings and commissions, created to inhabit both space and imagination.

 

For those drawn to everyday glamour, her curated gift collection brings shimmer, texture, and sensuality into objects you can enjoy daily.

 

Art you can wear. Art you can live in. Art that makes your walls blush.

Poetry and Art: A Dynamic Duality
Shari is an award-winning poet whose words pulse with rebellion and mischief, wrapped in wit and sparkle. Where her paintings radiate joy and shimmer, her poetry explores raw, unfiltered emotion. Though distinct, both are charged with intensity, each reflecting a different side of the same creative spirit — one that shines brightly, whether in light or shadow.
