Headshot of Elizabeth Berry

A mixed-media artist, Elizabeth creates objects which are iconic yet playful, non-literal while rich with allusions. With nature’s energies as her touchpoint, her work leans into the decorative impulse expressed through painting and monoprints and handwork such as weaving, beading, slow-stitching, and mark-making. Structural aspects reference sacred icons, theatrical sets, and pageantry. The intimate scale of her pieces is a portal into these rich realms. Embracing both traditional “fine art” and “crafting” mediums, materials, and techniques, Elizabeth celebrates the references, histories, and energies of all materials/approaches needed to realize her vision.
