"turned out" - paintings by Tishri Whiteside Salem artist, Tishri Whiteside, comes from an artistic family and developed her passion for creating art as a student of James Kirk. As a painter for many years, she is focused and humble about her work, stating, I'm always pleasantly surprised when something turns out. Her current collection on display this fall is an array of raw talent and delightful imagery that has turned out.
