To this day, people think of Sharon Stone as the femme fatale in Paul Verhoeven’s Basic Instinct, but she is so much more than that: award-winning actor, mother and—this may be news to some—artist. After the actress suffered a stroke in 2001, she began painting full-time in her Los Angeles home studio.
Nineteen examples of her artistic output are on view in her soon-to-close solo show, “Sharon Stone: Welcome To My Garden,” on view at C. Parker Gallery in Greenwich, CT. What exactly is in Stone’s garden? A lot of weeds, some flowers and a forest of insight.
