James McSharry is an artist living and working in Greenville, South Carolina. An early studio member of Oyé Studios, he currently works out of his home studio creating sculptures out of Corten steel. As the grandson of antique dealers and son of art collectors, McSharry has always felt drawn to visual art and the history of hand-made objects. After he graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Packaging Science and began welding through his automotive interests, McSharry now uses his engineering sensibility to approach sculpture. His nature-inspired work finished with natural metal patinas speaks to his love of the outdoors be it hiking, mountain-biking, or off-roading. McSharry creates mid to large scale sculptures for private homes as well as cooperate commissions.
Leave downtown Greenville on Wade Hampton Blvd. and turn right onto Rutherford Road. Turn left onto Piedmont Park Road before the GT's Express Mart, follow through the four-way stop by Sevier Middle School, and take the last right onto Caroline drive before the stop sign at State Park Road. Follow to the end of the dead end road, take the last right at 38 Caroline, and drive around to the back of the larger house on the property. The shop/studio is in the back.
