Dita Sharpley

On my many world travels and adventure’s I’ve always had a keen eye in securing an artifact, relic or piece of art that had great meaning or had some kind of significance to me.
While in South Africa two years after apartheid fell I purchased a traditional Zulu weapon called an Iwisa. It’s one of the famous weapons the Zulu’s used to defeat the British during the infamous Anglo-​Zulu Wars.
After graduating MDCC I went on an quest to Southern India seeking rare Sanskrit manuscripts that elucidated the mystery’s of life and meditation. While there I purchased a magnificent metal sculpture of Nataraja (the dancing Shiva/​Rudra) near Mahabalipuram. I’ve always been fond of lightning and thunder god’s like Rudra, Thor and Baal Adad.
Which brings me to Dita, typically I have tunnel vision when I’m in the Yellow Green farmers market and I usually don’t notice anything but exactly what I’m looking for. But I happened to catch a glimpse of Dita painting a beautiful piece of Ganesha which caused me to stop and scrutinize her creation.
My eyes also caught a hold of a painting of a mermaid. I inquired Dita about this piece and she told me she was quite fond of painting mermaids, she then showed me some of her other mermaid pieces on her facebook page. I was really impressed by her passion for creating art and I admired her riveting energy.
Something connected between me and her, not sure what it was but I liked it, so I decided to peruse her boothe for a painting that my spirit would be pleased with.


After looking at her paintings I was drawn to a Nataraj-​esque dancing Durga painting, Durga/​Kali is actually one of my favorite Goddesses… she’s so sexy and so dangerous. Dita informed me the piece was $ 50, I bought it immediately.
