A Brief History: 

Visual Voyages was founded in 2005 for the express purpose of gathering like minded creative people to explore together and to experience art in community.

Sharon McCameron Whyte, MFA, founder of Visual Voyages, is also the lead artist/teacher.  After teaching in several universities, and conducting art workshops around the world for other agencies, Sharon decided to open her own art workshop.  Originally conducted in Scottsdale, Arizona, Sharon moved the workshop headquarters to Vancouver, Washington in 2007.  Here in Vancouver, she began by  teaching part time at Clark College and also privately in a shared studio space.  In November of 2009, Visual Voyages moved to the present location in Salmon Creek.
