She has studied Art History and Curating in Canada, England, Switzerland and Austria, earning degrees from the University of Saskatchewan and the University of the Arts, Zurich.

Her primary area of interest is sensorial art experiences, and her latest obsession is olfactory art. Curatorial projects of note include TRENCH, a durational performance by Adrian Stimson; the nationally touring retrospective The Writing on the Wall: Works of Dr. Joane Cardinal Schubert; Pay de Devil Brang! Brang! Pay de Devil, an exhibition by Curtis Santiago; ROYGBIV with Shoplifter, Kapwani Kiwanga, Anri Sala, and Rodney LaTourelle and Louise Witthoft; and the exhibition Scents of Movement, Scents of Place, for which Sharman was awarded the Canadian Museum Association's Award for Outstanding Achievement in 2023.
