About
Shirley Crow grew up in a tiny farming community in Missouri. She received a B.S. with honors in art education from the University of Missouri. After college, she studied painting under Warren Rohrer in Wilmington, DE. She was later a student and assistant at the Lowell Collins School of Art in Houston, TX. Back in Wilmington she exhibited in many locations, including the Delaware Center for Contemporary Art, and the Delaware State Arts Council. In 1987 she won the Individual Artists Fellowship Award from the Delaware State Arts Council. She relocated to Santa Fe in 1999 and has shown at Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock, Texas, Forsyth Center Galleries, Texas A & M University, College Station, Texas and University of New Mexico Medical Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico and Zane Bennett Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She was in a one woman show at Gerald Peters Contemporary, Santa Fe NM in 2022 and 2023.
Artist Statement
We live in a time when almost anything could happen. When I start a painting exciting anticipation fills the air. Opposite worlds collide: known and unknown, chaotic and ordered, quiet and explosive, material and spiritual, beautiful and ugly. I find myself incorporating my reactions to the world around me. Through my work I want to encourage viewers to feel a sense of wonder and awe about the universe.
