A Life in Visual Media
Paul Sharits was a visual artist, filmmaker, and performance artist born in Denver, United States. His creative journey was deeply shaped by personal shifts; after the death of his mother and his marriage to Frances Trujillo Niekerk, Sharits burned much of his early narrative work, leaving only the film Wintercourse (1962) from that period. His academic background included a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the University of Denver's School of Art and a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Design from Indiana University Bloomington.
Sharits's professional life was closely tied to the academic and experimental film communities. He served as a teacher at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Antioch College, and the State University of New York at Buffalo. At the University at Buffalo, he taught film history and analysis within the Department of Media Study, contributing significantly to the program's development.
