PROFESSIONAL OVERVIEW   Download full version of bio - pdf file.

Alison Berry’s paintings explore a conceptual landscape of ideas, charting a jumbled cultural narrative of science and religion, nature and culture. Their subject matter is the intangible network of knowledge, beliefs and values, which frames and conditions our experience of the world. Constructed like maps, the paintings playfully combine the conventions of cartography, architecture, diagram and illustration. Rich matte colors and passages of fine detail evoke the traditions of manuscript illumination and Persian miniature painting.

Born in England, Alison Berry was raised in the USA and educated at Yale University (BA), The New York Studio School, and Brooklyn College (MFA). She has taught at Brooklyn College and the Maryland Institute of Art and Design. Her work is exhibited nationally. She lives and works in New York City.
