Sharon Stone shares insights into her decision to prioritize art over Hollywood.
Sharon Stone has shed light on her decision to trade film sets for art studios, as she continues to share her painting career with fans. Once one of Hollywood's most bankable femme fatales, Stone has transitioned into a career in art in recent years.
During Thursday's episode of Good Morning Britain, Stone explained why she chose to explore visual art rather than pursuing a second career closely tied to her acting roots. "If I really just boil it down to the most basic thing, I think that I believe there's a connection to spirit, and so many of us call it so many different things," Stone told co-hosts Kate Garraway and Ed Balls. "Everybody has their own name for the way that they speak to spirit. For me, I feel the closest to that when I do creative things, and the painting is very much an expression of how I feel artistically, and how, through that creativity, the spirit comes through me."
Stone elaborated that painting brings her immense inner peace. "When I get to be creative, whether it's on film or on the canvas, I feel very much in my element and very much that all's right with the world," she explained.
The Casino star also revealed that her artwork often serves as a visual representation of her thoughts and emotions. "I feel like my mind is full of these images and stories and thoughts and feelings," she shared on the ITV morning program. "They kind of come flooding out on the canvas and I hope they're as compelling to other people as they are when I make them."
Stone, who began painting regularly during the pandemic, has openly discussed the difficulties she faced while working in Hollywood. This includes feeling abandoned by the industry after suffering a brain hemorrhage and stroke in 2001, as well as instances of inappropriate sexual conduct by executives. Despite the challenges, Stone remains committed to her artistic pursuits, finding solace and fulfillment in her painting.
