Shirley East studied painting at Kingston School of Art, from which she graduated with the National Diploma in Design.
  She then trained in Manchester as a Medical Artist and worked for some years producing medical for illustrations,
 mainly advertising pharmaceutical products.  She taught for four years as visiting art teacher to two different
 schools. She has painted many portraits; including members of her own and others' families.  She has been a
 member of the East Kent Art Society since 1968 and has exhibited at their annual exhibitions.

      In 1979 at the invitation of a Dutch Artist, she had her own one woman exhibition in Rotterdam. She is an Associate
 Member of the British Mycological Society and over the years has identified and made detailed watercolour paintings
 of some 341 species.  She hopes to have these published as a book but has yet managed to meet an enthusiastic and
 wealthy publisher.  She now does oil paintings for her own pleasure, tending to concentrate on scenes with
water and the reflections therein.

Sadly, Shirley East suddenly and unexpectedly passed away in April 2003, leaving a husband,
two sons and many paintings. Dr. Michael East has assured me that if anybody should
be interested in viewing any of her paintings, he would be delighted to show them.
