Shanese Hirmas Bio and Artist Statement

Shanese Hirmas Bio

Shanese has had a lot of creative influences throughout her life time.  One major artistic influence in her life was her Great Grandmother, who was a self-taught artist.  At a young age, Shanese was already creating art through different mediums:  oil, pastels, water colors, charcoal, acrylic, ceramics, photography, and arts & crafts.  She has traveled to over 23 counties across four continents and conversationally speaks four different languages. She studied art at the University of North Texas.  Recently, Shanese was awarded two first place prizes for her acrylic paintings, one of which also won best of show in the Charles County Fair.  Shanese is a member of the Charles County Art Alliance, The Art League, and The National Association of Independent Artists.  Shanese also has a blog called “Artista Della Vita” where you can follow and see her art http://artistadellavita.blogspot.com .

Artist Statement

“Artista Della Vita” means Artist of Life in Italian.  This statement very simply describes my style of art. I try to capture the art in life.  My art is typically traditional and realistic while trying to include the details and elements of a single subject to savor a moment in time portraying motion and feeling.
