Sharon Pierce Mccullough

McCullough's original artwork is in public and private collections across the United States and Europe, including Germany, Switzerland, Greece and the UK.

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, Pennsylvania 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.

McCullough works in an intuitive, yet intentional, manner, sometimes working from quick sketches but mostly not. "While I am inspired by painters such as Miro and Klee, I constantly strive to draw from my own inner creativity."

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