Inspired by a visit to Ripley’s Aquarium, the sight of the sea turtle cause CurlyShirley’s eye with its grace and ability to move with or against the current making it look effortless.
Sea Turtles symbolize longevity, grounding, peace along with ancient wisdom and emotional strength. As it glides through the water it maintains a pace that is powerful yet doesn’t overly exert energy. It’s almost like a form of maintaining. Showing us the importance of strides and staying the course while being patient and allowing things to unfold as they may.
Reiki infused and made with the intention to encourage unconditional love. Promotes feelings of acceptance, patience, persistence and wisdom to see the larger picture ultimately reducing stress in any room she hangs!

CurlyShirley is a self taught visual artist
who began playing and expressing herself using different mediums from a very young age. She uses her emotions/experiences to transmute creativity through her hands as a way to express herself on the canvas and bring healing to others.
Through her experience of grief & the overflow of love that she has discovered in that, she has fostered a better relationship with herself and her emotions all while creating a safe space through art/creativity.
Her ultimate goal is to work to create that environment with other people so they too can ultimately begin creating a space for themselves to be and feel who they are, so they can pay it forward and share their greatness with others.
She truly believes that love is what makes the world go 'round.
The focus of her work is energy healing whether that is Reiki Infused pieces, Intentional Paint Workshops or personalized gifts.
She is best known for her paint sessions where she collaborates with attendees to learn more about the power of intention, connecting & exploring our inner selves through creativity. She has collaborated with many non-profit agencies within the city of Toronto including The Community Healing Project, Frontlines, Stella's Place, TDSB and many more.
