Welcome to Kaci designs website

A Quote from Shirley Kaci :

"I see the skills that I have acquired like mixed vegetables they all work well on their own but also work equally as well together" .


The interesting thing with Kaci designs is that you get more than you expect and may not realise the relevance of the subtitles but with a little patience and with an open mind peruse this site and I’m sure you will leave the keyboard with a chuckle, a smile on your face and more importantly I believe that you will want to return for more. "Well I Hope You Will"

I have not arrived at where I am today by using conventional methods "not that I have anything against convention". " I truly believe that a greater power than I, mapped the path in which I trod, from the day that I was "released into the earths atmoshere" and untill the present day. "During my teenage years I was a rebellious kind of character" and I'm sure that I probably drove everyone mad, However, in my defence I now realise that I was not fully equipped academiclly, mentally, emotionally and more important socially in order to allow myself the privilege of changing my sometimes disruptive behaviour. There were of course many factors to my behaviour and as an adult I can only give a subjective point of view why I may have behaved rebelliously. I am not proffessionally qualified to analyse my personality I can only speak of my deepest feelings. I suppose I was the sort of character who had to learn everything the hard way.

As a mature women I realise that the more conventional roots of learning may have equipped me sooner in realising or even reaching my ambitious life goals but I feel that for me, the conventional root can never compensate for my real life experiences and ones encountered from as young as age three. These experiences whether sad, bad, mad, crazy, fun. Whatever the experience, either positive or negative has, as a result, awarded me the privilege of gaining invaluable knowledge of subjects and skills that might have taken me years and years of conventional study to acquire and arrive at where I am today. I am extremely passionate about my expressive artworks all of which were inspired by real life experiences.

I believe that almost every human being has the potential to be a Politiian, a Surgen, a Judge anything you want to be but ! you have to first believe in yourself, never accept NO !, as there will always be someone out there that will say YES, never pretend to know something that you don't as you will always get caught out and remember that the only way to gain experience and knowlege is to ask because if you don't you will miss so many opportunities and only be deceiving yourself. Always remember that nobody not even Tony Blair, knows everything.

When one matures you realise that even large educational institutions are only able to offer one, a limited amount of knowlege and skills just enough to equip you for working in the real world. Teachers, Headteachers, support workers are no different to you or I they learn somthing new every day. There have been many occasions where I have gone to purchase materials for my work and enquired about the life span of particular types of paints, what happens to such materials when used with the wrong types of paper, or what the life span of a painting would be, how quick colours may fade and so on. I could give many examples like this where I was unable to get answers to my enquiries, this is not to undermine the assistants in the shops or any institutoin in any way, it's just my way of saying that none of us not one of us no matter how tough life may seem to be or has been, should loose faith or abandon our dreams. The Only one who has the power to change the direction of YOUR LIFE is YOU. With a little help We can all learn something new for ourselves and from others each and every day.

The purpose of my website is to promote my artworks however, equally important is that I would like to feel that by sharing my life experiences may one day inspire and encourage others to realise their dreams and go for it!
