Art has been an important part of Shirley's life since her days at Jefferson High School in Lafayette, Indiana. After four years of high school art courses, Shirley attended a two year commercial art course at St. Francis School of Art in Lafayette, Indiana. She has also had 3 1/2 years of training at the Indianapolis Art League, influenced by Paul Sweeney's watercolors.
The satisfaction that her art brings to her is why she paints. Landscapes and flowers are the images she loves to depict. Although many will say her work is exceptional, Shirley's goal is to keep improving and be the best watercolor artist she can be. Her talent has brought her the title of "Best Floral - Watercolor," in the Hoosier Salon and two purchase awards, along with numerous local awards. Besides being accepted to the Hoosier Salon, Shirley holds memberships in the Indiana Watercolor Society, the Indiana Artist's Club and the Kokomo Art Association. Her work can be seen at the Hoosier Salon in Indianapolis, the Lafayette Museum of Art and the Kokomo Fine Art Center.
Shirley was born and rasied in Indiana. She currently resides in Russiaville, Indiana with her husband, Richard.
