January Artists @ Kristine's Coffee Shop
Shirley Matheson & Granddaughter, Shanna Muston.
Shirley has been painting for a number of years, and her first forays into painting began with the help and encouragement of Sarah Larsen and then as member of a group of like-minded artists who gathered regularly to socialise and discover art. Shirley likes to explore different mediums and styles. These ventures into art have been fostered and supported through the Flying Arts School, various workshops and local artists. Shirley’s love of art has been inspirational to three of her grandchildren, Shanna being one of them. Many of Shirley’s pieces are proudly displayed in the homes of family members.
As well as painting on canvas, Shanna also enjoys experimenting with visual applications using computers. Throughout her high school years, Shanna has developed her artistic flair with support and encouragement from committed teachers. Shanna has applied to study at The Queensland College of Art in Brisbane and looks forward to encountering a variety of new perspectives.
Both Shirley and Shanna thank Juanita for her continued support of local artists.
The 2008 calendar is fully booked with local artists keen to showcase their artwork to community while they have a cuppa.
I love both your work, Shirley & Shanna!
ReplyDeleteShanna, I'm sooo envious of you going to art college!! I wish you all the very best in your studies & future art practice :)
