Sharron Quasius (born 1948) is an American sculptor.

Quasius, from Sheboygan, Wisconsin,[1] is best known for her appropriations of classic paintings, which she transforms into large, soft bas reliefs made of stuffed canvas.[2] She was at one time married to the sculptor and restorer Don Howlett,[3] with whom she worked on the restoration of the Wisconsin Concrete Park.[4] Quasius is represented in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art by a terracotta relief of 1982, Washington Crossing the Delaware;[5] another 1982 work, a reinterpretation of Watson and the Shark after John Singleton Copley, is held by the Vero Beach Museum of Art.[6]
