Canadian
visual artist Shirley Dickie.

In the Words of the Artist

"Through my painting I am drawn to enter into points of view and places in the psyche that are beyond words. My paintings examine life, movement, feeling and mystery. I am as much the medium of expression as the brush, the paint and the canvas.

 Out of the maelstrom of my own experience my paintings reflect the times in which I live..."As you may see from her various art gallery pages, Shirley's work is continually in flux.  Her unique, self evident style is easily recognized through her strong emphasis on shape and form.  Colour plays a dramatic role too; tying together composition, technique and subject.  She creates artwork that is both, inspirational and appealing.

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.
