Artist Bio: Shirley Jane Hobbs- I’ve been an artist all of my life. My formal education has been in psychology, counseling, and education. I have a PhD (abd) in Transformative Learning and Change. My work experience ranges from gold miner to school administrator. My expertise is the creative process. I’ve taught many workshops and short classes in the areas of multicultural relations and student learning. Six years ago I started silk painting and have been working professionally as a silk painter since then. I show work at galleries in the Black Hills of South Dakota and have taught silk painting classes in my studio, in gallery classrooms, and for community education for the past 5 years--up to 10 classes each year. The students always create great value from the experience.
