These pieces are basically mixed media……some collage, some acrylic paint, some pencil and crayon. Whatever gives me the effect I am looking for. They are created by applying layer upon layer.

Dear Mrs Bergerson, I am a huge fan and would like to buy an original piece, but could not find a hint on your Site where to ask for that. Do you sell via a certain Gallery, or would I just ask you here? Greets from Berlin, Germany, Tina Reichelt

A couple of quick questions: Do you name your paintings before you start or after you finish? Do you have any intention at all when you begin a piece?

I do about half and half. Sometimes I have a specific idea I want to explore, other times I just start and see what happens.

Is the work used to make a collage your own? I.e. do you prepare paper ready for collaging with your own art work?i kind of assume you do. I love all your work by the way.

Thank you. Yes, I do use papers I prepare myself, and also various rice papers, newspaper, old maps, found papers (stuff that’s been modified by being out in the elements), etc.

Love your work!Especially Interlude. When you use newspaper or other non acid free found paper,will mat medium protect the work?

I like to think so. The polymer medium encloses it completely with no more exposure to moisture or oxygen. UV-wise I’m not so confident, but I choose not to worry about that.

Thanks for your reply.I used some neat rusty water painted paper towels and collages them with mat medium and hope they will stand the test of time.

How do you make your Neocolor 1 art look painterly? Turpentine smells so bad. Is there anything else I can use? On your black skimmerrs. Did you use other colors when layering the black parts. Your art is wonderful BTW!

Thank you.
I don’t use any solvents with my Neo 1’s. I just put it on so that eventually the color is solid, so that no paper shows through, but in thinner layers, not all at once. You can keep adding color and kind of “mix” color on the surface. If you overdo, you can scrape off the excess and redo (to a certain extent). You can also use Prismacolor colored pencils to blend edges where one color meets another.

Just discovered your work which is fascinating
What sort of glue do you use as I always find it difficult to get items to stay flat especially if theatres are textured and a bit rough

Most of the time I use matte medium. If I want to keep the surface of the material I am collaging to remain “dry”, I use either permanent glue stick or Tacky glue. I also use Tacky glue for more 3-D stuff, like bottle caps or wood. When using Tacky glue or glue stickI usually allow the piece to dry for a while under a weight to assure a good bond. With a slip sheet of waxed paper. And sometimes I use gloss medium coated papers and a tacking (heat) iron. TMI????
Best regards.

I’m sorry that I no longer offer classes/workshops. I’ve entered into that selfish phase of my career when I just want to work in my studio, doing what I want to do when I want to do it. It’s a lovely place to be.
Best regards.
