About the Artist

Inspired by intense color and texture, self taught Texas artist Shirley Patxot doesn’t remember a time when she wasn’t creating art of some kind.  She now works primarily in acrylics creating figures, animals and surroundings using vivid color and patterns.  ANGELS AMONG US, HUMAN KIND, ALL GOD’S CREATURES and LOOKING TOWARDS THE SUN are her ongoing series. Her style reflects her love of expressionism and contemporary folk art yet it is uniquely her own.

I am continually inspired by the vulnerability and beauty of the world around us.  My hope is to create figures, animals and surroundings that captivate and allow the viewer to connect at the truest level.

Shirley @Artisans Connect Gallery

I met Shirley in early 2014 and fell in love with her paintings.  We have been showing Shirley’s paintings since April 2014.  I am drawn to her color palette and patterns that she places in the unexpected places.  I am not alone in that attraction – just ask any of our patrons.  

The pictures of her paintings show her color palette, patterns and the variety of  subject matter but not the newly added textures she is including her recent pieces. 

You really need to stop by to see Shirley’s paintings in person. 

Here are a few of Shirley’s pieces that are currently available* in the gallery.
