July 12th | 2-3pm
This event is free with support from Oregon Community Foundation.
Join Artist Shirl Ireland for a presentation about painting in the field… its challenges, rewards and unexpected wildlife encounters along the way.
Shirl has been creating art ever since the art cart first entered her classroom in the first grade. She went to college for Fine Art, Product Design and Education. Now, she’s been a professional artist for almost three decades.
Some of the highlights include working with a National Geographic video crew where she painted the view from her backyard in Montana. Shirl led a camera crew to a favorite wilderness spot in the Adirondacks to paint the scenery for a PBS documentary. She’s also hiked throughout Yellowstone with a correspondent from England to paint en plein air and record the wilderness sounds for a BBC broadcast. Here in Oregon, she wrote and illustrated a children’s book with her daughter, There’s A Weasel On My Easel!
Shirl has been fortunate to live in inspiring places, from Montana and Yellowstone, to the Adirondacks in upstate New York and now her latest adventure, here in Manzanita along the Pacific Coast.
Hoffman Center classes and events are often photographed or filmed, and we love sharing those moments on our social media, website, and newsletter so people can get a feel for what it's like to create and connect here. By registering, you agree to be included in images of the event you have registered for. If you would prefer not to appear in images, please tell a staff member when you arrive.
