Artist Statement

For Berenice, art practice is a portal to relationship; a relationship with Maker, materials and those with whom the art practice touches. For her, the process of making is a trust journey, a listening, a response, a conversation, a privilege and is to be undertaken with grace, respect and humility and yes, love.
