Artist's Statement

"Out of the maelstrom of my own experience my paintings reflect the times in which I live..." This site is a transparent representation of my artwork, my attitudes, my beliefs and general way of life. All the information here is without mystery. I use no jargon; my approach to communication can be refreshing and at times may appear simple; it is meant to inspire beginning artists to make art when, how and for what ever reason that is individually important to them. If I can demystify the art process and make acceptable any ones point of view more people will delve into the creative process, enriching us all. Shirley Dickie, Courtenay, BC, Canada
