Born in Dover Township, six miles west of Adrian, Michigan, Shaw began working as a clerk in Adrian when he was eighteen years old. In 1869 he went West, and in time became the proprietor of a hardware store in White Cloud, Kansas. He had been interested in drawing since childhood, but it was not until 1879 that he decided to pursue art seriously.
