Sharon Pierce McCullough is a renown American painter, best known to international collectors for her dramatic and colorful Horse paintings. Drawn to the contemporary form of the horse, color and minimalism are the two defining elements of her art practice.

Her experimental spirit is evident as she explores colors, shapes and textures in many of her ongoing series of paintings and sculptures. Never static, her oeuvre demonstrates an artist constantly experimenting with possibility. Works vary to include geometric, minimal and figurative abstracts, with a concentration on her series of Horses.

Working in an intuitive, yet intentional, manner, Sharon begins with quick sketches. "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, Sharon 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 work is good or great."

Sharon's original paintings have been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries in the United States. Her collector base is international, with collectors in Switzerland, Germany, Greece, the UK and Dubai.
