"A Colorful Life" Drawing

Collected internationally in the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Dubai and the UK, in public and private collections.

Working as a contemporary abstract painter and sculptor, American artist Sharon Pierce McCullough's work can be defined by her bold use of color. She works out of her studio in Cashtown, Pennyslvania in an old stone home.

Her art practice attests to her experimental spirit as she explores colors, shapes and textures in many of her ongoing series of paintings. Never static, her oeuvre demonstrates an artist constantly experimenting with possibility. Works vary to include geometric, minimal and figurative abstracts. Horses and geometrics are the most recurring themes.

Taking cues from early Minimalism and Color Field painters, McCullough hones her multicolored palette on a continual basis. "The choice of each color ina painting is often a long process for me. It can be a defining choice that determines whether a painting is good or great."

In the studio, Sharon toggles back and forth between paintings and sculpture. The paintings are created on canvas using both acrylics and enamels. Her sculptures make use of divergent materials such as plaster, found objects and cement. A small plaster sculpture was on exhibit recently at the Phillips Collection, Washington DC.

McCullough (b. 1943) has original art in public and private collections throughout the United States and Europe.

Sharon is an internationally recognized Artist, published Children's Book author and illustrator, How-To Author and Designer.
