About Shirley
I manipulate paint, graphite, and cloth to express what I can not in words. I create meditative space through color and the visceral unveil of subconscious content through my hands. I paint to create quiet space and breathing room for a brain without use for words.
I enjoy seeing what comes out. For me I love that painting is a means of expression for things that there are sometimes no words for. And it heals. It's meditative, a way of self discovery. And I love seeing the details. It's cooling watching people find their flow and helping them express themselves.
I'm a natural educator. I've taught my friends how to paint and did a series of volunteer adult lessons for clean water fundraising. I've also taught some children how to paint when I used to babysit. I've been teaching my 2 year old nephew how to paint, too.

I want to get to know them and what their goals are. I can accommodate casual to more serious painters! We can get straight to painting or we can go more in depth can explore something more conceptual, or more traditional. I want to know what speaks to you, I've loved learning it all and will tailor lessons to fit your needs. What's most important is that we try to accomplish expressing your vision. I'll all about bringing out your inner artist and everyone is different.
Ages 2 and up!
To make practicing a habit, just like exercise! To start with choosing what colors and techniques feel right to you, and to shoot after what resonates with you--take responsibility for what you are expressing and the why behind it, but don't think about it to the point where that initial feeling gets lost. Don't get too attached to your expectations when you are learning and allow yourself the space to evolve.
A recent event that I am fond of is the BLM movement. If we are describing events in art...well I really want to see the Women's World History Exhibit at the Field Museum! (I'm not sure what to put here)
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What styles do you like? What do you want the subject to be? What mood are you going after? Is this for an audience, and who? Where do you want it to be seen? Are there materials you want to explore or combine with what you are painting? What do you want to learn to get better?
