Merryl Berner Cicourel: Retrospectively Reimaging Cultural Landscapes

Merryl Berner Cicourel’s work is centered on folk and contemporary art. She uses her personal experiences with landscapes and sacred settings from various cultures to create mixed media works. Most of her images appear to be abstractions at first glance. Creating landscape abstractions, she simplifies realistic sketches, drawings, paintings, and photographs so all that remains are their abstract essence.
