Shirly Oren’s world view has been shaped by a life lived on three different continents. Through her travels and her experience of different people and places, she has developed a deep and abiding belief in the importance of compassion, connectivity, and gratitude – as well as the lifelong growth that comes with the embrace of those values. Her art is inspired by nature, spirituality, and a powerful commitment to the idea that we are all artists in some shape or form. She holds degrees in Psychology and Art Therapy, the latter of which has helped her find strength, solace, and emotional release during a time of worldwide pandemic and political and social upheaval. She currently lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts with her partner of 23 years, with whom she is passionately raising two creative humans.
