    On Saturday, April 29, local author Mary Alice Orcutt Henderson will sign copies of her new book, “Douglas Shively: An Artist’s Life,” from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m at the Santa Paula Art Museum. The book, a biography of the beloved Santa Paula painter Douglas Shively from his birth to his early career as an artist, is a labor of love being privately published by the Shively Family. Admission to the book signing is free for everyone.

    Born in Santa Paula in 1896, Douglas Shively enjoyed a unique three-dimensional career as local bank president, rancher, and as an artist. “Douglas Shively: An Artist’s Life” features stunning images of Shively’s artworks including 40 oil paintings, 40 watercolors, 40 sketches, and a collection of his travel slides. Many of the images have never before been published! Also shown are family photographs and images of the four residences that he designed for his family homes. The book will be available for purchase during the event for the price of $50.00 each.

    The Santa Paula Art Museum, Jeanette Cole Art Center is located at 117 North 10th Street in beautiful downtown Santa Paula.
