Shirley Hove
Shirley Hove is a contemporary visual artist working in oils, watercolor and pastel. She works primarily from life, whether the subject is landscape, portrait, or still life, to express the subtleties of color and shape created by light. She strives for a direct response to her subject with the object of capturing selective beauty and emotion through expressive, soft simplification that builds conceptual depth to her subjects.
Hove earned a Bachelor of Science in Art from St. Cloud State University, studied art at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, and illustration at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. For eleven years she worked as graphic arts specialist for St. Cloud State University.
