Artist Recognition: Beth Berry
CAC Artist August 2025: Beth Berry
Now on display at Village Hall is the landscape artwork of Beth Berry, selected by the Oswego Cultural Arts Commission. Her collection has been featured in the Village Hall lobby and will remain on view through Oct. 29.
Beth is a Chicago-born, Aurora-based artist whose work blends realism with touches of Impressionism. Using acrylic and gouache, she captures the quiet beauty of the Midwest in scenes of forests, prairies, wildflowers, and open landscapes. Her artistic journey was reignited during the pandemic and has since led to features in regional galleries and even on a Times Square billboard.
Visit Village Hall at 100 Parkers Mill in Oswego, open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
