Abstract Art

Inspired by expanding outside myself, toward others and the nature of things. To wander is to feel alive. To be in a constant state of discovery, lighting up when you experience something new

I paint organic brush work creating inherently beautiful forms that flow and merge, and are vibrant and playful. Expanding on tradition, I create with new materials in a very unique process developed over years of refinement and experimentation, while leaving space for play and discovery.

I absolutely love this print! Shirley was so helpful with questions I had as well. Bought it and two others for a set of three and I’m in love!

I sent this to my Mom for Christmas, and the seller was wonderful about sending a sweet note with the pic. Incredibly beautiful artwork!

I reached out to Shirley inquiring if she could do a specific picture and ship it within a few days as a special gift for a friend. She replied right away and committed to completing it in time, and even consulted me on modifications of the picture. It turned out perfect and better than I imagined! My friend loved it. Thank you Shirley! I highly recommend her for any custom paintings.
