Updates from the KmBerggren Studio — art therapy

I now have the A Silent Story Audio Visual books READY! What a labor of love these were. I anticipated that I could MAYBE pull them off in 1 or 2 takes. But talking about over 90 pages of art WITHOUT making a mistake or tripping over my tongue or doing something silly with my hand? Impossible.   In the end I decided to cut them into 1-2 spread takes, so about 48 takes later, I had all the files 😊   The Audio Visual books are now ready for YOU!!   May I say that I really love them?...

Over the last year or two it might seem like I've gone off the rails. Have you wondered: "WHO is 'The Seeker'? and WHY is Katie painting this character instead of her Mother & Child art?"   If you are willing to read, then by golly I’m willing to share… (also: I’m still painting Mother & Child!)     In 2018 my heart felt broken when my best friend walked away.

I have a printed proof of A Silent Story! I wonder if The Seeker looks oddly familiar to those who are following this project because the shape of you and I beneath our hair and clothes and chub, and all that we put on and say and pretend… is strong, innocent, earnest, authentic, a bit awkward, and wide-eyed. That is how I see The Seeker.   She’s angular, but also soft. With long arms that will wrap around you if you need them, but will also wrap around herself when she’s feeling vulnerable. She has long legs to stand tall, but also to fold in...

View the page devoted to A Silent Story   Silent Story is a wordless journey of heartbreak & hope. From joy through pain, and back to joy again.     I’ve just finished the final painting for the book. It’s not the last page in the book, though, I jumped around. On Instagram (stories) and in my Private Facebook Community, I’ve received lots of lovely feedback on this new dreamy sleeping painting, so, here I've paired her with the early sleeping page from the book.       This is an example of the transformation this book provides for the character,...
