Echo of Joy

Weekly beauty: Kirsten Malcolm Berry

Friday, May 6, 2011

I'm not sure when Kirsten Malcolm Berry's work first caught my eye, but there is a print (I think it's a print, anyway) of this piece hanging in the Seminary Relations Office at Luther Seminary:


I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry. John 6:35




I love the way she incorporates the Greek New Testament verses that inspire the art. The Greek language is beautiful in itself, so it adds to the work.

You can purchase original watercolors, signed offset prints, inkjet prints, and cards on her website, and within each of these categories you can also see her gallery of work.

I believe I've read that she's a local Twin Cities resident. (Incidentally, so is He Qi, whose work I featured here and here.) Here's some more art from Kirsten Malcolm Berry, for your enjoyment.


Suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God... Luke 2:13




What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. John 1:3b,4




And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light. Revelation 22:5

Wow, that is really neat. Those are beautiful and you are right, I really like that she uses the Green text in the artwork.
