SHARON ADAMS MILLIGAN

A fourth generation Californian, Sharon Milligan came to San Miguel de Allende from San Diego in 1986.

Milligan has won national and international recognition for her clay and bronze sculptures. She received her art education both in the United States and Mexico. In the U.S. she attended the University of California at Riverside and at San Diego and Saddleback, Palomar, and Mira Costa colleges. In Mexico she received advanced training at Bellas Artes and the Instituto Allende. She was also under the tutelage of the well-known Mexican artist, Victor Cuevas de la Mora and studied with the North American artist, Nancy Sclight.

Milligan has shown extensively in both countries. In the United States her work has been shown in Las Angeles, Venice, Laguna Beach, La Costa, Del Mar, La Jolla, San Diego and in Nevada, Colorado and Pennsylvania as well. In Mexico, she has exhibited at the prestigious Bellas Artes, Instituto Allende, The Museo Allende and the Institute of Cultural Affairs in Yautepec.

When not sculpting, painting, or print making, she may be found in the company of her standard poodle Llamo, and toy poodle, Angelita. Her other passions include cooking, and gardening. Milligan refers to her three grown children as her finest works of art.

Milligan’s work can be seen in several major private and corporate collections.
