J.B. Berkow

Inspired by the beauty of Tuscany and Venice and the quiet solitude of the English and French countryside, J.B. Berkow analyzes hundreds of photographs in her Florida studio before piecing each part together. When she is finished she comes up with the perfect composition, where each work conveys a special feeling to the viewer (Knottywood Treasures).

My work evolves into realism. But before it reaches this final realistic state, it is painted in a continuous series of abstractions. Therefore, realism, for me, is a simple stringing together of abstractions (J.B. Berkow).
