Sharon Albert Brier
Although Sharon Brier grew up in the Rio Grande Valley she left as soon as she could and found herself immersed in all that Houston has to offer. With her University of Texas background in Radio, Television and Film, her endeavors always found creative expressions. She started The Children’s Museum and led the first board of directors but has also actively been involved in City ArtWorks when she created the Art of Conversation fundraiser, co-chaired Leadership Houston’s first gala and was a participating member of The Houston Jr. Forum, garden clubs and charitable groups. No wonder she has material to write about happenings in our community. Sharon’s other source of information is easily attained from her being a full-time real estate agent since 1980. Sharon’s writing started as a youngster with family newsletters. Her priceless sense of humor is used when she has a unique party as well as used in her columns.
