Shirley Wagner
Shirley Wagner graduated with a fine art degree from Youngstown University in Ohio. Her favorite art class was sculpture where she developed a love of form and relief. For nearly two decades she has been fabricating sculptures and assemblages in her Tucson studio.
Most recently she developed a series of figure drawings she refers to as "Human Architecture". Her drawings captures the influence of architecture on the human form. Working furiously with a pencil, determines the gesture of the human body in motion. Much like an architect, she drafts a network of intersecting lines and shapes, allowing the figure to emerge. The prints capture the vitality of the original work.
Her work has been widely shown in Arizona including Mesa Contemporary Museum of Art, Tempe Center for the Arts, University Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix, Pima County Arts Council, the Drawing Studio and Shemer Art Gallery. Her work can be found in both private and public collections throughout the United States and is in the permanent collection of the Honors College University of Arizona. During her career she has been nominated for the Governor’s Art Award, recognizing her contribution to the arts in Arizona. She is represented by Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery in Tucson, Arizona.
