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.
