Shirley West: Discovery November 3, 2009

West's accomplishments span a wide variety of media, including design, painting, drawing, and sculpture. Of all the arts, sculpture is closest to West's sensibility; she is responsible for several remarkable, epic size outdoor sculptures, as well as many smaller pieces. West's long experience in New York demonstrates a close familiarity with the work of the New York School, a familiarity most evident in her expressive, gestural paintings.
