Alan Sharpe's artistic journey began at Pacific High School, where he immersed himself in the visual and performing arts, earning accolades in art competitions and clinching the 2016 state championship in prose reading. Some of his favorite moments in theatre was all the dancing especially in Legally Blonde, Shrek, James and Giant Peach, and as Charles Guiteau in Assassins.  He pursued his passion for art at East Central College and the Kansas City Art Institute (KCAI), where he earned both a Bachelor of Fine Arts and an Associate of Fine Arts. Alan's academic excellence was reflected in his consistent presence on honor rolls and the president’s list. His talent and dedication were further recognized through a prestigious Kansas Royals Sponsored Studio Internship during his time at KCAI.

Alan's senior thesis film, "Gears N Lightning," was selected for the 2024 Uplift Film Festival, marking a significant milestone in his career. He co-created a children's book, "Planet Zoocey Woocey," with a local author and KCAI alum, and developed comic series like "Slice of Life" and "Student Chronicles." Beyond his personal projects, Alan has collaborated with small businesses, designing everything from logos to website graphics, having recently created a 5 five piece collection for a client, Flora and Fauna.
