Sharon Stone throws herself into her art. For years, her chosen medium was performance, but since the Academy Award-nominated actor picked up a paintbrush in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, she hasn't put it down.
"I just get in this kind of trance," Stone said of her daily painting practice during an interview with CNN. This week, she displayed the fruits of that labor at her first East Coast exhibition, "Welcome to My Garden," which is on display through December 3 at C. Parker Gallery in Greenwich, Connecticut.
The show shares a title with one of the 19 paintings on view, a 6-foot-high canvas featuring a ghostly serpentine form coiled around a pair of carefully rendered flowers. "The planet is our garden," Stone said of the symbolism behind the work. "I think that many people are disrespecting the planet, pretending that there isn't climate change, there's no environmental climate crisis. And (they believe) if they just ignore it, that it will go away."
