New York Artist Sharon Pell never tires of expressing the sinuous lines of the female form. A love of color, collage, and abstract art infuses her pieces, and her creative inspirations range from French vintage poster art and retro imagery to female superheroes and pop culture icons – many of them idols from her childhood.

In Pell’s series of S*Pellbinders, a mixed-media collection of captivating women, she unearths the complex relationships between her figures and the mass-media images on paper over which she works. This process of integration is the focus of her art.

A self-described pack rat, Pell is a collector of postcards, art cards, match-books, stamps, printed papers, and maps – an ever-growing selection of ephemera that influences her work.

Pell’s paintings have been shown in galleries and boutiques in New York among other places, and commissioned by the likes of Tommy Hilfiger and Paramount Pictures. As a teenager she was awarded a scholarship to Pratt Institute in New York City, where she studied fashion, illustration, and photography – a combination which contributes greatly to her style; a blend of illustration, pop culture, modern art and childhood memories.
