The Basic Instinct star shows she has an instinct for artwork too, as is evident in the East Coast Premiere of Sharon Stone's Paintings at the C. Parker Gallery in Greenwich, Connecticut. The event has been extended to Feb 20th by popular demand
The exhibition 'Sharon Stone: Welcome To My Garden' is extended one more month until February 20. Her art is praised by collectors and art world luminaries, including Jerry Saltz (the Senior Art Critic for New York Magazine and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism).
The gallery show features 19 paintings by Stone, and is the first time her artworks are exhibited outside of Los Angeles. “I created these works to understand the essence of pure creativity that comes from heartfelt truth, to let go of the noise, the judgements, and the pollution of our societal pulls,” says Sharon Stone.
Stone is internationally recognized as a global cultural leader, her many honors include: the Women Making History Award from the National Women’s History Museum; the Einstein Spirit of Achievement Award; the Nobel Peace Summit Award Laureate; the Golden Globe Award; a Prime-time Emmy Award; an Academy Award Nomination; she was named a Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters in France; the 2023 Courage Award; the Harvard Humanitarian Award; and the Human Rights Campaign Humanitarian Award, among her many accolades.
Stone was recently honored as the Global Citizen of the Year at the 2023 United Nations UNCA Awards.

Her ability to observe and interpret human behavior, and her capacity to turn human frailties into sources of strength, shine through in ways that are combative, conquering, and victorious. Her connection to nature is always visually present. “Color becomes a wavelength for me,” says Stone. “Being a colorist moves the directions of my paintings. Color speaks to me.” Stone has been painting her entire life. In her early years, her Aunt Vonne had a Master’s degree in painting and would create murals across the walls of the home where she lived as a child. She studied painting in college, and her artmaking became her laser-focus during the pandemic when she entered a new creative portal.
This period of planetary crisis transported Stone to open up new artistic channels, transferring her lifelong creative instincts onto the canvas. Since then, she paints every day, four to 17 hours per day. Protection, Peace, and Power, by Sharon Stone (acrylic on canvas).
