After the loss of a young husband and young adult son, Shirley’s God given artistic talent began to blossom. While seeking God's favor in her life, her artwork took shape in 2000 after taking an all-inclusive oil painting class.
Having been born and still residing in beautiful SC, her paintings primarily reflect South Carolina's realistic landscapes. She paints in plein air weekly. Her mediums include oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, colored pencil, oil and dry pastels.
Her 26-year art career has benefited from local SC art instructors, practice, curiosity and experimentation. She hopes the viewer will connect emotionally with her paintings.
She has won many awards in artwork competitions. She has also had opportunities to teach many art classes. She thinks the best is yet to come.
