freckled diva
Hello! I’m Sharon Harms and I’m a classical singer, teacher, and coach. Since we’ve been quarantined I’ve had a lot more time to organize, design, cook, knit, draw, take tons of photos, and look after my plant babies. I’m here to write what I know, what I don’t know, and all the things I want to know more about.
My mom teasingly referred to me as freckled diva in 1997 and it’s stuck with me ever since. I grew up in Colorado, went to Indiana University for grad school, moved to NYC and started my career, ended up in Brooklyn, and am still figuring out who I want to be when I grow up.
I love thoughtful food and coffee and beer. I love the mountains and the ocean and the sun, even though the sun doesn’t like me very much. I tend to obsess over my house and cleaning and listening to the news - and oh my how awful the news is every single day. I identify as an introvert with a sun in Libra. A child of a hoarder father, home as a sacred space is extremely important to me and I’m fascinated with organizing our living spaces and how we relate to our homes. My mom taught me the value of skincare and that makeup is fun - I’m all for a good peptide eye cream and a bold red lip. And although my hair in this picture is rare in its straightness, I’m a curly girl 99.999999% of the time. You can learn more about me as this blog grows.
As an honor to my late mother, freckled diva is for her.
