Meet Meira Berger

I'm an eclectic artist with a passion for color, shape and meaning through that process. Creating art allows me to process the difficult emotions and symptoms of my Bipolar II. It provides a way through and gives me purpose in the process. 

My artwork is just a resting place for me. It’s a snapshot of how I got here and where I hope to go. 

It starts with everyday mundane to the corruption of mental illness to recovery. I wish it were simple and you knew at the time what was happening. But, it's not. Having a mental illness is upsetting, disruptive, 

scary and lonely. Having art in my life as an outlet helps me cope with these things. I'm very thankful for the people in my life who were strong enough to understand and help me through this. I use art as a 

tool along with therapy and medication to help me deal with the difficult emotions. More than that, I also need to express the good things as well. The joys! The calm. The boredom of everyday life. All of it is worthy of expression and meaning.

My art is about that process. The grooves or threads in a record. The day to day over and over and over again tasks we do. In the end, we create our lives. Or the vibrant thick lines or dashes. Maybe the squares and squares of ideas. From big to small. The over and over. The magentas, blues and purples. 

Red and yellows. 

How do things look and feel. 

I often times blend my blues and reds to create my own 

color mixed with black. 

Or take burgundy and dark brown. 

The orange and yellow pops in between. 

I just know that color is my language that I speak from and it has meaning to me.
