Sculptor Art Herman in Bisbee

Art Herman’s studio is located in a small dark room behind a gallery space in a converted garage on Main Street. He walks with a cane due to a bad back, most likely from years of hard labor working as a commercial diver, a carpenter, an electrician and a plumber. He works with his hands, always has. As a full-time artist, Herman is putting those hands to work sculpting wood and bending metals and found objects. His most recent project is a personal one. Herman, a kind and soft spoken man, is entering a new chapter in his life as an artist and his political views are a big part of that. His latest work — wood sculptures of crows — is a statement against Nevada's open season hunting of crows, which he affectionately calls “little darlings.” This new found activism doesn’t seem like a stretch for a man man who discovered his passion for art while stationed in San Francisco during the 60s at the height of the Beat Movement.
