Coming from a rich lineage of artists, Lenny Sharp was predestined to pursue her own artistic path. From skipping school to visit the National Art Gallery, to first exhibiting her work at age 19, art has been the undercurrent in her life—and one that has carried her through each new endeavour.

While pursuing her degree in Photography at Concordia University, Hélène took part in multiple student-run arts organizations and worked as Gallery Coordinator at the VAV Gallery. Upon graduating she moved to the Yukon, where she organized both photography and pottery workshops at KIAC & Robert Service School. Under the guidance of Patrick Royle (Raven Pottery), her interest in pottery blossomed and she began to develop her own style. And thus, Yarrow Ceramics was born.
