WOODVILLE – Tyler County Art League, to highlight the work artists, has set aside an area of the gallery in which to feature one of their artists. The current artist is Vera Charline Wareham. Wareham is a native Texan, a resident of Moscow, an artist and poet.
Wareham, in the past, had a wide variety of jobs from landscape designer to assistant editor of a small magazine. While working at these jobs, her style in poetry and art matured into something all her own. The gallery has on exhibit her collages, paintings, and mixed media artworks as well as copies of her book of poems and illustrations.
In developing her works, she shared that she studied photography because her paintings did not look realistic. Eventually, she figured out that her art didn’t have to look like real life; it just had to look like her vision of something magical that maybe could be passed on to others. She says she is “a seeker of truth—forever obsessed with dreams and the unexplained”. Judith Haney, founder of the gallery, once told Wareham that her art demonstrates that she is “thinking outside the box”, and that she should keep on doing that.
Wareham’s selection of artwork will be on display at the gallery throughout November and December.
