Summer Breeze, Sophie Berger, Original Painting

2018

Sophie Berger is a contemporary artist living and working in Devon. Her recent works have been greatly influenced by her move to Devon and a new found love of the Dartmoor. She often sketches in the north of the moors and Skaigh Woods, taking in the mood of the sky, rolling hills and streams or concentrating on the intricate twisted branches and roots of the bracken. Berger’s next stage is to recapture these sketches using oil paint when back at the studio in Kigbeare, thereby creating a strong connection between her work and the landscape. The changeable, moody landscapes awash with color, horizons and the vast openness have inspired her to explore the feeling of being in this environment, so to describe these works as landscapes would be to miss the essence of the places they strive to capture. Berger exhibits nationally and internationally and has sold paintings through galleries, private clients and artist consultancies.
