About

We are a design house specializing in commissioned merchandise, event decor, and arts events. As artists we are committed to creating high quality, educational, art that will lead to lasting memories. 
We are named after Alice Shirley and Daisy Shirley who were remarkably creative women that migrated from South Carolina to Philadelphia in the mid 1900s. While both women were very creative, they were not afforded the opportunities to pursue many of their dreams in the arts. We, their kinfolk, are here to continue their legacy.
Monica is Alice's daughter a visual artist and an art teacher in the Philadelphia School District. She studied Fashion Merchandising at Philadelphia Textile College of Arts (now Thomas Jefferson University) and Arts Education at The University of the Arts.
Monique is Alice's granddaughter and visual artists as well. She is a creativity researcher and scholar who studied Psychology and minored in Painting at Howard University. She now lecturers in Howard's Department of Psychology.
