Heidi Berger - Premium Artist |
Based half of the year in Barbados, I do much of my work there. I normally paint Caribbean women, who have impressed me with their self-awareness and dignity. I recently traveled to India...these paintings are based on my impressions. |

'I work with techniques of pouring paint, reworking scrubbed surfaces, and incorporating collage. Words have always been important to me, so random words and phrases show up in the paintings. Pentimento, the underpainting and layering of the surface have to do with allowing the past to influence the present, bringing order to randomness. I usually prepare a background then paint the subject over the top, hoping that the previous layers will retain their integrity and bring unity to the painting.'
