Artist Statement
The Star Wishers Studio represents a shared vision of hope, imagination, and possibility. It is a place where our creative energies combine to manifest our dreams in charcoal, paint, and ink, and where we pursue our artistic journey together.
Our exhibition showcases the unique strengths and talents of our studio, honed through years of dedication to our craft. Shelley Hermes, will show works from her classical training in drawing. She also has created a striking series of paintings inspired by her travels to Joshua Tree National Park. Each piece captures the inherent beauty of nature and the dreamlike quality that permeates the desert landscape and spirit of growth and survival, even in extreme conditions.
James Werner, known for his insightful and masterful portrait art, presents both new and older pieces from his collection that display his technical and creative skills. In each portrait, he captures the essence of his subject, reveals some narrative about his experience and that of the sitter.
We are thrilled to present our works to the Lafayette community, and we hope that our art inspires visitors to seek out the Bindery as well as the Star Wishers Studio within themselves, empowering them to pursue their own creative endeavors. We invite you to join us in our journey of artistic discovery at the Bindery Artist Studio in May 2023.
