Jilly Shires

I am a contemporary artist and capture moments, memories, past and present to surround me slowly releasing liquid emotion. All consuming, erratic, passion tinged with shadows and light. Dreams and life exposed laid bare for all to view. Painting is a way of conversing or telling a story inspiration is everywhere it can start with a colour or a word and finish with one brush stroke or drip of paint. Starting is easy ending is impossible, I have to be satisfied that every part of my mind, heart and soul is entwined together on canvas. I have painted for most of my life and have a Bachelor Degree in Fine Art. I teach Still Life drawing and gain inspiration and energy from my students. My medium is acrylic matt and metallic, spray paint, silver/gold leaf. I don’t plan my paintings but let them organically evolve working loose with fingers, brushes, spray cans and water.
