About Shirley Hazlett

Totally new silks, watercolors, and peace in 2025!

In addition to a new series of her signature acrylic on silk flow paintings, Shirley is featuring a series of watercolor paintings, designs based on the iconic 1958 peace sign, in an effort to promote world peace.

These peace paintings are specially priced, and 1/3 or the $75 purchase price will be donated to a local peace effort. A notable peace activist, Rev Grant, will be joining Shirley in her studio to talk informally about his California based peace efforts. 

Hazlett is featuring a new series of acrylic paintings on stiffened silk, a unique process she developed while completing her MFA in Painting, with Honors, at the San Francisco Art Institute. Silk works are framed and sized from small (5x7 inches) to medium (20x30 inches.) Other works (watercolor and Sumi ink) are up to 4 feet x 8 feet in size. Also available are original small paintings on greeting cards. Prices, cards to large paintings. are $10 to $2800. Works are suited for home or office and something for everyone in price and size.

Shirley's Dynamic Deconstruction and Reconstruction of Works on Paper demonstration (collaging original paper remnants into new paintings) will be featured Sat and Sun from 10:30-11 and 3:30-4. 

Her signature acrylic on silk paintings were featured in her 2012 solo show at Axis Gallery, reviewed in Square Cylinder by art critic David Roth and recommended by Sac Bee Art Critic Victoria Dalkey

Shirley Hazlett helped to establish and has participated in the Sacramento studio tour since its 2006 inception. She looks forward to the opportunity of welcoming art enthusiasts to her studio each year! Good conversation, tasty tidbits, peace pins and slogans will be available to be enjoyed.
