About
the Artist
Jill K. Berry has been a graphic designer and painter for 27 years, after an education in design and graduate studies in art in Florence, Italy. She has designed many books for various publishers, and began making handmade books in 1997. Her work is content driven with an emphasis on color and text, and is often centered on social issues. She was awarded the Newberry Purchase Prize in 2002 for an artist’s book on the goddess Vesta. Her work can be seen in Letter Arts Review, Somerset Studio, the Guild of Book Workers show and catalog, In Flight, and a book by Kim Rae Nugent due October 2008. Her handmade books are in the permanent collections of the Newberry Library in Chicago and the Denver Public Library. Her paintings and artists’ books have been shown in national invitational and juried shows and can be found in public and private collections across the country. She lives in Superior, Colorado with her husband and two kids, who also make books. |
