Taking the colorful high desert surrounding Taos, New Mexico as her subject, Shirley captures the changes in
seasons and the dramatic surprises in color and form that make up her part of the world. Capturing this
dynamic landscape in oil pastels requires considerable care in technique but results in a radiance difficult
to achieve in other mediums. It is this combination of color, form and the inner glow of her paintings that
makes her work popular with both first time visitors to Taos and long time residents. She shows exclusively
at Open Space Gallery and gladly accepts commissions. |
