about

 art in flow — where light, texture, and emotion converge

meet the artist

maryberry

  • a multidisciplinary artist drawn to the spaces where light and shadow meet — where emotion becomes form. 
  • my creative process is less about control and more about discovery. whether I’m working in scratchboard, mixed media, or exploring new materials, each piece begins as a quiet conversation between intuition and expression.
  • i'm fascinated by contrast — between stillness and motion, simplicity and complexity, what’s visible and what remains unseen.
  • through texture, rhythm, and tone, I aim to reveal the emotional undercurrents that connect us all.
  • for me, art is not about depicting the world as it is, but about sensing what lies beneath it — the pulse, the memory, the quiet invitation to feel more deeply.

art is a mirror — sometimes

it reflects what we know,

and sometimes

it shows us what we’ve

forgotten to feel.
