Kimber Berry, Thank You for the Magic Carpet Ride, Acrylic and Mixed Media on Canvas, 48x48. It is framed with a white float frame. This is a richly layered, textured, dimensional contemporary painting. It is a colorful painting filled with pink, purple and blue with a splash of white. A combination of acrylic paint, resins, and photographic collage. Kimber Berry is a Los Angeles artist, who is part of the "Flow Movement," a term coined by Art Critic (and curator) Peter Frank. Her artwork is vibrant and dynamic mixed media combining acrylics, resins and digitally altered photographs of her paint-strokes. As a native of LA, Kimber loves to blur the line between what is real and what is illusion. In this latest series, Plastic Gardens, Kimber addresses the ongoing diminishing natural environments.

Berry has received a lot of positive attention from art critics and curators on the West Coast and has been featured in solo and group shows in New York, LA, Atlanta and London. She has been featured in exhibits at the Riverside Museum and the Huntington Beach Art Center in California. Her art was highlighted in the magazines Art LTD, Hamptons Cottages & Gardens, Ocean Home...

24” x 20” Gouache, ink, acrylic and devalued currency collage, signed on reverse by the artist "I utilize the genre of landscape painting to investigate the problematic psychological relationship between humans and the natural world while simultaneously suggesting an interconnected fate.
