Shari Pedowitz Artistic Empire
Shari Pedowitz dazzles with bold color, secret whispers, and a sparkle that flirts with your senses. Since 1987, this self-taught firecracker has created over 1400 seductive masterpieces that pull you close and make your walls blush. Her work has shined bright in top exhibitions — including a sizzling moment at The Metropolitan Museum of Art — and sparkles on in the University of Delaware’s permanent collection. But Shari’s magic doesn’t stop at canvas. She spills her signature flair into fashion, accessories, home goods, stationery, and luxe textiles — turning everyday into a sultry celebration of passion, play, and pure glam.
