Attendees will have a rare opportunity to witness Shirley’s gold leaf process in person - an art form rooted in 14th-century Italy - and hear directly from the artist about her journey from successful tech founder to internationally awarded visual artist.

This event follows the Sun Valley Gallery Association Wine Walk and continues the weekend celebration of contemporary art in the region.
