About
June Berry's art is about life, the life of real people, and it is basically optimistic and joyful, even when contemplative.
Life transformed into art: an art based on observation of the particular, but so steeped in tone that it moves beyond the specific; figures, dogs, birds, buildings and trees become crucial notes within the overall symphony of colour, which is her true creation.
Her work - whether oils, watercolours, drawings or etchings - is unpretentious, quietly subtle, despite the often heightened colouring, as well as being gritty and tough; it is the result of rigorous training, years of self-discipline and acute observation, and it is built to last.
Pleasure for us today, and a visual heritage for future generations.
