About

 

Krista Berman is a contemporary multi-disciplinary artist and designer with working studios in both Orlando and Detroit.

She is a 1992 BFA Graduate (Summa Cum Laude) from the University of Michigan School of Art & Design with undergraduate study also at California College of Art. 

She was a resident artist at the acclaimed McRae Art Studios in Orlando for over 20 years, following her corporate career working as a Graphic Designer for Anheuser-Busch and Walt Disney World.

Krista has exhibited in numerous galleries, as well as the St. Louis Art Museum, Orlando Museum of Art, Seattle Art Museum and the Birmingham /Bloomfield Art Center. and her work is in private collections across the United States and Europe. She has worked as an architectural designer for HOK Architects, as well as continues to grow her interior stylist and home design business, working closely with private clients between Florida and Michigan.

From growing up in the redwood forest with her mother and also working under the tutelage of her father, a noted designer & architect, she integrates the two forces of nature and structure as common themes in her work and design sensibility.

"Our common culture has found its varied and paradoxical links between blind consumption, mass marketing, sexual and political issues, and an indisposable / disposable mentality which greatly impacts the environment. My fascination with these many social and economic contradictions is a response to this phenomenon through objectification, neo-conceptual work and assemblage."
