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.
