Shirley Woodson taught art in high schools and colleges in the Detroit area for over 26 years. Now, the community is highlighting the 85-year-old's decades of dedication to the Michigan art scene with her own exhibit.
"The Nile is a part of our history and certainly within the art realm. It's sort of the basis of art history with all of the wonderful discoveries and things that were built over hundreds of years," Woodson explained."I want my art to inspire, to be inspirational, and to cause people to think." Woodson has long been an integral part of the Detroit art community. She was the co-founder and longtime president of the Michigan chapter of the National Conference of Artists, and she worked as an art teacher for nearly three decades — an experience she called"really wonderful."
The vibrant colors seen in the pieces in Woodson's exhibit symbolize the strength and transformative power of the Nile.
