Stella Berg was born in New York City and moved to Istanbul, Turkey with her family at age 11. It was during these formative years in Istanbul that she developed a deep admiration for mosaics. After high school, Stella returned to New York to earn a BFA in Acting from Syracuse University. A decade of acting and producing later, Stella found her way to visual art, and specifically to mosaics. She cultivated her own spin on the traditional art form by swapping ceramic tiles for torn magazine pieces.
Stella is developing a Boss Women Series, a portrait collection of influential women whom she admires, with the intent of having a gallery showing of the work. She is in the early stages of illustrating a children’s book about an eager Jack Russell Terrier and her BALL. Stella is accepting commission requests for custom pet portraits.
When Stella is not creating, you can most likely find her in a park depriving a child of a swing.
