Shirley Novak
“I love reading about the passion Claude Monet had for his garden. Pissarro and Van Gogh were also avid gardeners. My garden gives me great joy and countless ideas for paintings. Each year I let nature have her way and let seedlings sprout in new places and in combinations I wouldn't have thought of. There are always delightful surprises in every corner of my garden. What I try to do with paint is recreate the joy I experience in my subjects; the flowers that I grow, and the wildflowers in mountain meadows.”
Shirley’s original paintings can be found in prestigious collections around the U.S.. Prints of her work can be purchased from stores such as Michaels to Target as well as on stylized merchandise.
