See Sharon Stone’s New Paintings—Colorful Abstractions That Reflect Her Inner World

artnet news, October 31, 2023

Ever since receiving a paint-by-numbers set during the pandemic, Sharon Stone has been conversing with colors. That, at least, is how the '90s Hollywood icon describes her all-consuming relationship with painting, one which has seen her spend up to 17 hours a day in a dedicated studio she's created in her Beverly Hills home.

Not that wielding a paintbrush is new to Stone. She grew up painting under the tutelage of her aunt and briefly studied art at Edinboro University, Pennsylvania, before dropping out to pursue a career in modeling and acting.

 

Four decades on, Stone is seemingly focused on painting full-time. She has built off her Spring show at Los Angeles' Allouche Gallery with "Welcome to My arden," her East Coast debut, now on view at C. Parker Gallery.
