Artist Demonstration - Bill Berryman

Saturday, April 24 @ 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 outdoors, weather permitting, and guests will be able to interact with the artist and discuss his process. A variety of Berryman's work will be available for purchase.

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.

Artist's Statement

I have been working in clay for almost 15 years and came to find my love for clay by taking a ceramics class to fulfill a diversity course for my business degrees.

The first time I put my hands in clay I experienced a connection that I have never felt before. At that moment I knew that this is what I was suppose to do in my working life.
