Artist Statement:

“Suki Berry is a ferociously queer visual artist living in Santa Cruz, CA. She's best known for her vast, abstract expressionist landscapes on wood. Berry's work is musical in nature; the luscious union of sound and shape. Energetic, deconstructed landscapes are portals to challenging the attitudes, fears, and unwritten rules of our environment. Berry’s work invites the viewer to savor indulgent colors, unbridled movement and authentic spontaneity. Hazy atmospheric landscapes sit amid blazing hot suns and golden rivers of feminine intensity. Her environments are ethereal mirages of organic desire. Berry’s work reminds us of places unseen, but at the same time comforting and familiar… Like a place we feel we’ve been before, but can’t quite recall. Suki Berry has been recognized by International Art Museum of America, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, and New Museum of Los Gatos. Berry’s work can also be found outside of the traditional gallery setting. With a penchant for translating sound into color, Berry’s work is especially at home at music festivals and large scale concerts. Berry has been invited to paint at Envision Festival (Costa Rica), Desert Hearts (San Diego), Enchanted Forest (Mendocino), and Burning Man (Nevada).”
