One of the most satisfying experiences as a writer is to be approached by artists who create uplifting works of art and wish to have me write an Art Review for them. Shirley Wallitsch is an artist from New Jersey who creates joyful oil paintings. She requested I write about her art for her to use for her website and promotional use. I was more than happy to accommodate her. Shirley’s artwork is so full of healing and light that I decided to share some of it with you and the Art Review I wrote for her.

Her expansive artistic vision is enhanced by her skillful use of stylistic expressions, gestural painting methods, different methods including splatters and mark-making. She delightfully embraces aspects of Realism, Impressionism and Abstraction.
Stars, mountains, flowers, and minerals spark her creativity and meld with her innate positive spirit that immediately lifts our moods. Not satisfied with merely replicating nature Shirley emphasizes the symbolic and emotional sensations that exist within the natural world.
