Curator Notes
“With a background in health sciences as well as architecture and design, Hermann's paintings are deeply rooted in the notion of critical thinking and the forging of human identity. Concepts of community versus individuality permeate the work as well as complexity versus minimalism. Hermann is a two-time Doug Moran Prize semi-finalist and a winner of the Kennedy Art Prize People's Choice Award.”

Woman dressed in Wonder Woman costume is seated in her wheelchair, one leg crossed and a thoughtful expression as she gazes to the right of picture. Her prop sword and shield rest against the couch behind her and two cats (one ginger and one black and white) nestle at her feet. On the marble wall behind her is a carved bas relief featuring ancient Greek heroes in battle including some on horseback. Painted on a canvas surface that has been gessoed and sanded multiple times to render a smooth, regular substrate, this work is presented in a gold floating frame that complements the golden hues depicted in the piece.
