ROCHELLE BERMAN
Theme: Women and their Issues-Dreamscape Series
Struggles and Dreams,Transformation and Fear and lLove, Growth-
Dreamscapes- Symbolic and Impressionistic

The artist was born in Brooklyn, NY and currently lives in Miami, Florida. She spent her youth studying the visual arts, including classes in life drawing and painting in NYC as a teen. She always loved to draw, paint and write poetry , but it was in college that she actually discovered her greatest passion of all was with photography. Classically trained in photography, she started her studies with black and white film photography at Arizona State University, She was employed as a portrait photographer while still in college. Later, she learned to utilize creative film techniques using double exposure, solarization, photo-montage and other darkroom effects. Rochelle assisted her professors in the History of Photography classes, and she was inspired by studying such diverse Masters of Photography from the past and present such as Henri Cartier Bresson, Man Ray, Abbott, Brassaii, Julia Margaret Cameron just to name a few. Some modern favorites include (Portrait) Phillips Halsman, Annie Leibovitz, Barbara Morgan, Arnold Newman, (Experimental photography ) Bill Brandt, Andre Kertesz,Sandy Skoglund (Travel/ Documentary ) Steve McCurry and Jim Zuckerman.
Rochelle has exhibited and sold her artwork locally and internationally. She enjoys creating certain “Dreamscape” type effects through creatively envisioning the final result and then employing the Digital Darkroom techniques. Rochelle especially enjoys creating experimental portraits, nature studies and travel related Images. Well-traveled, Rochelle Berman attempts to capture the immense beauty of our world as seen throughout many countries, people and landscapes. She likes to capture the special moments and underlying essence of a scene. Totally in love with Color and Pattern , her artworks are electrically vibrant, simple and direct in composition and emotionally rich. Some of her favorite artists include (impressionist) Matisse, Monet, Cassatt. (Surrealist ) Dali and Magritte, (Expressionistic decorative/symbolist ) Klimt and Chagall.

Artist Statement
“My intention is to capture and create images that show the beauty and magic of our world! I hope to inspire and share the happiness that I feel when in the presence of nature and her wonders. Also, I am intrigued by our unique human ability to communicate and express in such diverse ways, It is my hope to touch hearts and inspire minds through my Art/Photography. As a spiritual truth seeker, my art helps me to break through traditional thinking to discover new ideas and feelings. The greatest joy lies in sharing the present moment’s magic with others and exploring dreams and intuition as tools for spiritual growth. I love to create “dreamscapes” where I start with the inherent beauty in nature, places and people and take a creative leap from there.”
