Sharon O’Brien started The Wharf Gallery in 2020 to fulfill her lifelong interest in art. After completing her Bachelor of Arts (Hons) majoring in Fine Art from Gloucester University, she then went on to complete her Masters in Art at Bristol University.

Coming home to Raglan, Sharon saw a gap in the Waikato community for a high-end contemporary art gallery. Focusing on representing established New Zealand artists, the gallery has featured a number of well-known names since opening. Since then, The Wharf Gallery has become a reputable dealer gallery in the Waikato region.
