Amy Berlin (b. 1976) is a self-taught, Dallas-based artist known for her whimsical abstract collages and mixed media works. Drawing inspiration from her background in English Literature, Berlin incorporates aged book pages and found materials into her art, imbuing each piece with a narrative quality and a deep appreciation for the written word.
Her work debuted at the Hampton Designer Show House in 2019 and was subsequently featured in the Kips Bay Show House Dallas in 2020 and 2021. Berlin’s art is part of the permanent collection at Parachute Home in Houston, and archival prints of her work are available through Four Hands Studio. She has also exhibited with Uprise Art and Boll & Branch, and created commissioned pieces for the Magnolia Network.
Before fully dedicating herself to her art practice, Berlin spent 14 years managing operations at a branding, design, and interactive agency she co-owned. Earlier in her career, she worked at New York Times Digital. She holds a BA, cum laude, in English Literature, with a minor in Women’s Studies, from Rhodes College. Berlin works from her studio in Dallas, Texas, where she lives with her two children.
Statement
Amy Berlin’s work explores the assemblage of old books, found paper, and her own mixed media fragments into abstract collages that reflect her stewardship of disparate quotidian materials and her desire to imbue them with novel meaning.
