artist statement: Joanne Berg's paintings reflect her love of textiles, pattern and color. She
enjoys painting outside when possible, capturing the essence of her subject
through the interplay of color, texture and light and shadow. She views each of
her paintings as a new adventure leading her into previously unknown territory and
while the journey may be difficult, it is always rewarding. She works in oils,
acrylics, and most recently, chalk pastels.
After time spent working in
commercial interior design and raising her family, she took up her painting
again in 1998 while living in Connecticut, taking courses in painting at the
Silvermine School of Art and Wooster Community Art Center. She was a member of
the Ridgefield Guild of Artists and the Comstock Group. She has been in a number
of multi-artist exhibitions, showing and selling her paintings and hooked rugs.
Joanne moved to Memphis with her husband, in May 2006. She has
lived in Washington DC, Virginia, Connecticut and Brussels, Belgium.
