About Shirley DeLaet

Art became Shirley’s life’s desire at a very early age. She was determined to be an artist, so when the time came to make adult choices, she chose to enter the world of commerical art as an illustrator and designer. It was a good choice for Shirley, as it led her to a 30-year career in the business of creating for others.
Upon retiring from her career, she picked up her brushes again to continue the creative process, but this time it was to paint for the pure pleasure of painting. She starts her process by studying her subjects and knowing them well. Telling their story on canvas or paper is a big, and important, part of her creative process.
Viewers will find both still life and landscape paintings in her portfolio. Beauty guides her subject choices because she has always found beauty everywhere, even in the simplest, or strangest, of things. “But, it’s the story behind the beauty that guides me through my painting process.”
