Artist Demonstration - Bill Berryman

Saturday, December 18 | 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Whether looking into the face of a young Shaker girl, or a lone coat hanging against a stark, aged wall, you may sense another presence in the room when viewing Bill Berryman’s creations. Berryman weaves stories throughout his work with detailed yet simplistic images.

Join Bill Berryman as he demonstrates his artistic process through drawings and paintings. This demonstration will take place inside the Welcome Center and guests will be able to interact with the artist and discuss his process.

Artist's Statement

My current work is inspired by the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill. It is composed of representational drawings and watercolors of portraits, architectural studies, still life and animals. The Village is a place that is very special to me, and my art helps me to share it with others.

Demonstrations take place at the Welcome Center, and participation is included with Admission to Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill.
