Home Is Where The Buffalo Roam

by Shirley Jackson

“Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day”

This piece was inspired by one of the places I call home: Wyoming. It features the most iconic animals of the Wild West – the American Bison, and is surrounded by Wyoming’s state flower, the Indian Paintbrush (also known as Prairie-Fire).

Home for me can not be pinpointed to a single city or state.

Home for me will always be the American West.

Shirley Jackson

Shirley Jackson aka LIONINTHETREES is a Black and Korean artist residing in Central California with her German Shepherd Dog, Eden and the spirit of her iguana, Ness (RIP).

Shirley holds a BFA in Visual Communications from Weber State University. Her body of work heavily features animals and the natural world infused with magic, folklore, and her roots as a printmaker. She works in both traditional and digital mediums; and has now danced her way into product design.

Shirley is also the pioneer when it comes to running Kickstarters to fund enamel pin projects. Her cutie Scrub Jay pin which debuted in 2016 on Kickstarter kicked off the enamel pin Kickstarter trend.

Shirley's mantra when it comes to creating is: Own, love, and believe in what you create.

1. Be responsible for the work you bring into the world.
2. Love what you do.
3. Believe in yourself and the work you create.
