She majored in Ceramics and Photography. She went on to do post graduate work for a year at Boston University in Jewelry, established herself there as a jewelry artist and showed her work at contemporary Craft Shows, Art Fairs, museum shops and contemporary craft galleries. She has come full circle and has renewed her passion for photography through the iPhone. She is one of the many talented iPhone photographers who is forefront in this young and rapidly evolving field. Her work has been included in many iPhoneography exhibitions. She has been teaching iPhoneography at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Miami since 2011.
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is a great source of inspiration for Shirley and she spends much time there with her iPhone in hand capturing its beauty from the plethora of flowers, butterflies, art, orchids and more. Her monthly column, entitled ‘iFoto Fairchild’ will be inspired by that beauty with a different theme each month.
