Shirley Kitchens
Nautical/Yard Folk Artist

In Shirley's outdoor art studio you will find a honey-sweet mixture of paints, found wood, bits of rope...inspiration, perspiration, ideation, and laughter.

Each sign is painted lovingly by hand, and is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation.

The true nature of her artwork...is just that...nature.

Shirley captures the humor, beauty, and sheer wonder of nature in her art. From a beautiful Bird of Paradise to a flying pig...the order of the day, is random and undefined. But this is the way she likes it.

"Nature is unpredictable and so am I." she states.

"The purchaser of my work has found a connection to it. They choose each other. I have the satisfaction of knowing that my art has made a difference in their life, no matter how small.

To give laughter, inspire, or soothe the soul...is my joy."
