Biography
Biography
Her work often combines art with technology, for example by using mathematical filter-functions as a basis for a series of large oil paintings. Sketches for her later sculptures were often designed and processed using a computer. Previously, she worked in San Francisco and nearby Silicon Valley for almost ten years, and has received several official commissions, one of which is the largest sculpture by a European female artist; a 110-ton silica concrete monument. Most recently she has been working on a sculpture series in a stone quarry in Estremoz, Portugal, and at the world's foremost stoneware foundry in Serbia. Berg studied sculpting, painting, and interior architecture for 13 years, including five years at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo, Norway, where she received her degree in sculpting. Berg has received several awards for her work.
