Artist Statement: Some people (like me) love familiarity and a sense of home, but I admire the curiosity and courage of others who are drawn to explore the unknown. This painting is about those who have and will continue to go beyond our current limits to see what is out there (with the jab that no matter what we find, it will eventually become commonplace and we will be looking for the next new thing!)
Artist Bio: Berkeley lives in Austin, Texas where she paints, plays acoustic music with her sister and niece, and takes care of her dogs. She draws a lot of inspiration from song lyrics and poems, and transforms them into bright, whimsical images to tell those stories in a visual way.
