Sharon Denny Photography
The Paddle's featured artist ...
Sharon Denny has been cultivating her twin passions of photography and nature most of her life. Since retiring as an executive at a Fortune 500 company, she spends her time observing and photographing wildlife.
Her nature photography has won multiple awards and has been featured in several publications. She was named both Versatile Photographer of the Year and Photographer of the year in 2022 by the Coastal Camera Club, where she also serves as a leader of its nature photography group of more than 100 photographers.
A native of Easton, MD, she currently lives in Rehoboth Beach, DE.
She strives to tell a story with her nature photography. Her objective is not to simply photograph the abundant beauty of nature, but to capture the amazing things animals do as part of their daily lives.
What's her relationship to The Paddle? According to Mandy Hotchkiss, Co-Owner of The Paddle: "Sharon and I have been long-time friends stemming back to our undergraduate years at the University of Maryland in College Park. Her photography, along with the short stories she writes about each piece, is truly amazing, both artful and thought-provoking. Plus, she's Mom to three athletic and well-mannered Boston Terriers: Hudson, Jackpot & Miles! (See their photo below!)
