Neil Berger’s work captures the quiet intensity of nature through his oil paintings and prints, created with profound awe and reverence for the natural world. Inspired by his walks and wanderings, Berger’s pieces convey a mood that is "quiet but alert," drawing viewers to experience nature’s raw beauty. Influenced by poets like Walt Whitman and T.S. Eliot, Berger’s work embodies a love for the landscape that is both passionate and introspective.

Berger was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1971.  He received a BA from Stanford University in Studio Art and Cognitive Science (’93) and an MFA in painting from Boston University (’95).

Since 1995, Berger has worked as an unaffiliated full-time artist, specializing in oil painting and printmaking. He has received several awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship in painting (2004), a Pollock-Krasner Award (2011), a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in printmaking (2007) and two Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation grants (2007, 2001).
