Every year we put on summertime exhibitions showcasing the artists who practice and work at Spellerberg Projects. This year to celebrate our 10 year anniversary, we are curating 3 shows including current studio residents, studio alumni, and all the talented artists who make up our gallery staff! The Studio Shows are an opportunity for visitors to see the work produced behind the front gallery and connect the ways this community of artists influences each other working within a shared space. This year’s shows are a glimpse at the evolution of that community over the past 10 years.

Artists participating in Part II of Studio Show 2026:

Bobby Scheidemann is a photographer who explores the incongruities of everyday life. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Texas State University in San Marcos in 2011. Alongside his personal work, Scheidemann has published work for The Baffler, Bloomberg Businessweek, Rolling Stone, Vice, and Bad Day Magazine.

Elijah Cuminato is a painter from Austin, Texas. The themes of his work explore the juxtaposition between realism and abstraction through concepts such as space, shadow, and color.

Jean-Pierre Verdijo is an artist based in Austin, Texas, where he advocates for human rights, teaches art to teens with autism, and skateboards modestly. Born in Manhattan, he declared at seven years old that he would be an artist when he grew up. He spent much of his early childhood drawing, dancing, and on roller skates, impacted by the pop, graffiti art, and punk rock movements of 1970s and ’80s New York City. After moving to California at fourteen, skateboarding, jazz, and yogic culture influenced his early works. While studying studio arts in Sacramento, he received the Wayne Thiebaud painting scholarship and minored in children’s studies.

Jennifer Moore is an artist living and working in Lockhart, Texas. She received her BFA from Texas State University and her MFA from Maharishi International University. Before starting an art practice, she toured as a musician across North America, Europe, and Australia, playing everywhere from traditional venues, community art spaces, and generator shows underneath freeway overpasses, to museums like the Fort Worth Modern and the Whitney Museum of American Art. During this extended time spent away from home, she discovered the generosity and ingenuity of people trying to make art and music within a variety of ecosystems, and was inspired by the DIY culture that influenced the development of venues, homes, handmade instruments, and playing styles. Her preferred materials are household objects, thrifted textiles, broken electronics, and papier-mâché, which she applies to work centering around themes of body and home. Moore has shown her work at ICOSA (Austin, TX), Spellerberg Projects (Lockhart, TX), MotherShip Studios (San Marcos, TX), and other art spaces around Central Texas.

Ryan Thayer Davis is a painter who lives and works in Lockhart, Texas, supporting his practice as an architectural interior photographer. He received his BFA in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin in 2006 and has attended residencies in Tennessee, Texas, Wyoming, and Iceland.

Ryan works with printmaker-style layers to create sonorous, formal paintings that revel in structure. He’s interested in compositions that push and pull the eyeball brain, juxtaposing and alternating elements that recede and advance relative to the viewer. Seeking paradoxical relationships in space and color, his work allows many avenues of interpretation, from the feeling of landscape and dreamscape, to the pleasures of structural richness and texture, to the melodious nature of line. Generous up front, but deep enough to stay a while.

Ursula Rogers is a self-taught photographer, born and raised in Lockhart, Texas. She received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh and an MScE in Intelligence Studies and International Development from Aberystwyth University in Wales. Rogers is fascinated by using mundane subjects to explore memory and storytelling.
