The public is invited to the Exploring the Arts program featuring Shirl Ireland on Saturday, June 15, at 12:00 PM.  Doors open at 11:30 PM. Ms. Ireland’s presentation begins promptly at 12:00 PM.

Shirl Ireland will give a presentation at the Bozeman Public Library about her journey which led her to the life of a self-employed artist for more than 20 years now. Learn about her inspiring and sometimes comical life adventures as she juggles creative entrepreneurship, raising children, producing her art and starting and managing the business, while designing and building a home and studio for it all (twice!). 

Shirl Ireland lives in Gardiner, Montana, with her partner, sculptor John Stacy and their two children. She is fond of Plein Air painting and has been known to paint scenes from her kayak. She offer classes in art, and painting by commission. Visit Shirl Ireland virtually on Instagram at @ShirlIreland and online at https://www.elkriverart.com

The Library Lecture is sponsored by Bozeman Public Library, with the assistance of the Bozeman Art Museum.
