The studio show is a yearly exhibition of all the artists who practice and work at Spellerberg Projects. This year with the opening of the new studios, our numbers have grown and the show is a two part exhibition! Here are the artists participating in Studio Show 2024, Part 2:

Maya Endsley is an emerging artist whose works explore themes of femininity, art therapy, and self-narrative. A recent graduate of Texas State University, where she earned her BFA with a minor in Psychology, Endsley is just beginning her journey as a professional artist.

Born in Dallas, Texas, and currently residing in the Austin area. Endsley draws inspiration from her experiences growing up as a Hispanic woman in the Southern United States. Her work celebrates the beauty and complexity of femininity, using mixed media techniques to create striking compositions that speak to the diversity of women’s experiences.

Endsley’s work is deeply informed by her interest in art therapy and the therapeutic benefits of artistic expression. She believes that art can be a powerful tool for self-exploration and healing, and her pieces often incorporate personal symbols, handwriting, and other elements that reflect her own journey of growth and transformation.

Through her mixed media works, paintings, and drawings, Endsley invites viewers to connect with their own inner worlds and explore the transformative power of art. Her art has been exhibited in local galleries and shows, and she is quickly gaining recognition as a talented emerging artist.

As she embarks on her professional journey, Endsley is committed to using her art to create positive social change and promote mental health awareness. With her talent, vision, and passion for making a difference, Maya Endsley is a rising star in the world of contemporary art.

Brandy Schuenemann is a string artist from the vibrant artistic community of Lockhart, Texas. As a young girl, Brandy’s fascination with string art began to take shape in her grade school art class, where she crafted her very first piece. In 2013, she picked up the threads of her passion once more, and her artistic journey truly began to unravel.

Schuenemann meticulously weaves intricate patterns and tangled knots, transforming string, nails, and wood into vivid, vibrating compositions. As a lover of mathematics, Brandy finds string art to be the perfect marriage of geometry and creativity. She looks to nature, architecture, and music to find endless angles, patterns, rhythms, and fractals to inspire and enchant. Her admiration for street art, particularly the elusive Banksy, has led her on a quest to push the boundaries of her craft. In 2017, she hosted a street string art exhibit, tying together the worlds of street and fiber art.

Schuenemann has also commissioned large-scale lobby installations for the Residence Inn of Mariot-Austin and Staybridge Suites Houston-NASA/Clear Lake. The latter piece combines lights with her characteristic thread drawings in a shimmering ode to space travel.

Marie Tobola comes from a classical figurative background but leans on the abstract while searching the breadth of digital imagery for impulses of freedom in fleshy form.  She graduated from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago in 2006 and has been painting for over twenty years. She lives and works in Lockhart, Texas.

Jennifer Moore is an artist living and working in Lockhart, Texas. Before starting an art practice, she toured as a musician across North America, Europe and Australia, playing anywhere from traditional venues, community art spaces, generator shows underneath freeway overpasses, and museums like the Fort Worth Modern and 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 which 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 her 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. She received her BFA from Texas State University and her MFA from Maharishi International University.
