About SHARP ART STUDIO 
Based in Los Angeles, California, Louisiana native Monti Sharp is a contemporary artist specializing in painting and drawing. From his original works, Sharp Art Studio produces limited edition Fine Art prints, custom dinner plates, and graphic tees and hats. 

Also an accomplished professional actor, Sharp says that he is a natural when it comes to the Arts. “I’ve always had a natural ability to draw, paint, perform. I even started teaching myself piano at an early age." Sharp has already spent decades on the big and small screens working as an actor on shows like BOSCH, 911, HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, DEAD PRESIDENTS, NCIS, MODERN FAMILY, 24, and others. In 1993, he won a Daytime Emmy Award for his portrayal of David Grant on the CBS daytime drama THE GUIDING LIGHT. The emerging artist also has an adventurous side. In 1995, he earned his VFR/SEL Private Pilot license in the Piper PA-28.

In the year 2020, life dramatically changed for Sharp who says he relied on his artwork to cope with the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. Sheltering in place can have many side effects. According to Healthline, “as the pandemic wore on, researchers reported that some people experienced more than a decade’s worth of personality change.” Sharp had his share of changes as well: anxiety, depression, and sadness; a result of his inability to travel home to Louisiana to see his mom, who was in the last stages of her fight with cancer. Sharp would self-soothe by drawing and painting while his mother encouraged him to “Just keep doing what you're doing, for your future". Sadly, she passed away and Sharp committed to drawing and painting full-time as Sharp Art Studio.
