Meet this Month’s Artist
October 2026
Sharon Cutts
Sharon Cutts' work is driven by energy, unpredictability and darkness—a reflection of a world where beauty and life are under threat. She finds satisfaction in doing hard work, a core part of her artistic expression.
Her paintings and sculptures challenge the usual advice of staying in one lane. Instead, she cycles between unusual and sometimes unique techniques as she moves from figurative to abstract, painting to sculpture. Most of the paintings at the Little Compton Community Center use her technique where she takes yards of loose painted canvas to a gun range where she balls it up and shoots it with her 12-gauge shotgun, producing a highly textured and random canvas that she then collages onto another stretch canvas.
Whatever technique she uses, with color and idiosyncratic style her work is always recognizable. As she creates Sharon reaches towards a connection with others for a while she makes art for herself, connecting to viewers is essential.
