James Edward Scherbarth

CIRCA proudly highlights local artist James Edward Scherbarth through a solo feature of recent work on Artsy.net. Scherbarth’s current oil and cold wax paintings dive into a nature-based spirituality through abstracted landscape themes and stone forms. Based on a Celtic belief in animism, this work has emerged from a relationship with nature in which there is a sacredness in everything that resonates with those who listen and observe. 

Scherbarth’s creative process utilizes a “complex simplicity” evident in his highly nuanced technique for texture and composition. He brings a refined, refreshing approach to the cold wax medium through his deliberate and precise use of texture and color. James Edward Scherbarth is an award-winning artist and international instructor of oil and cold wax painting, based in Minneapolis, MN.
