Welcome to our online studio, where the power of creativity connects people with art.

American artist Carrie Bergey invites us into her creative and meditative world, where art becomes both an exploration and a retreat. A traveler captivated by the mystery of ever-changing horizons, Bergey infuses each piece with a resonance that feels both unique and familiar, drawing us into her journey. Her muted neutral palette, accented by subtle hues, blends with atmospheric shapes and nostalgic forms, evoking a sense of personal remembrance. Expanses of luminous white space offer the mind a place to pause and reflect, while her use of natural materials and layered textures speaks to her eco-conscious approach to both life and art. Each work is an invitation to the present moment—urging us to embrace curiosity, stillness, and contemplation.

Art and Architecture 

Carrie Bergey’s extensive background in architecture and design significantly influences her artistic approach. Her architectural training provides her with a unique perspective on form, composition, and the relationship between objects and space, which she seamlessly integrates into her captivating and evocative artwork. This influence is particularly evident in several key areas:

Composition and Spatial Relationships: Bergey's architectural background has instilled in her a strong understanding of composition, balance, and the creation of visual depth within a two-dimensional space. This understanding translates into the thoughtful arrangement of shapes and the effective use of negative space in her artwork.

Emphasis on Structure and Form: Her training informs her approach to structure and form in her pieces. She skillfully utilizes shapes and lines to create a sense of order and intentionality, even within her abstract compositions.

Layering and Texture: Bergey's experience with materials and construction contributes to her use of layered textures in her artwork. This technique adds depth and interest, reminiscent of how different materials are combined in building design.

Eco-Consciousness: Her education in Architecture and Ecological Design from UPENN along with her background in architecture involves considering the environmental impact of design choices. This awareness carries over into her art, as she frequently incorporates natural materials and layered textures, highlighting a commitment to eco-conscious practices.

Design Process: Similar to her architectural projects, where she oversees everything from conception to completion, her artistic process often involves a structured approach to development, experimentation, and refinement.

Consideration of the Viewer's Experience: Architects design spaces to guide and influence interactions. In the same way, Bergey creates art that invites viewers into a particular experience—one of meditation, exploration, and reflection.

Subjects of Inspiration

Bergey’s practice is rooted in her dialogue with the natural world. Her works often feature expansive landscapes, meditative seascapes, horizon lines that suggest both distance and possibility, and intimate studies of trees, grasses, and birds. Figures appear in some works as quiet companions within these environments, embodying both solitude and connection. Whether capturing the fragile beauty of a lone pine needle or the vastness of a shifting sky, her art honors the delicate balance between detail and atmosphere.

Private Studio 

Nestled in the heart of San Francisco’s Presidio Park, Carrie Bergey’s private studio offers original works in an intimate, curated setting. Her multidisciplinary practice spans oils, acrylics, watercolor, gouache, ink, pencil, charcoal, and pastels, with completed works in painting, mixed media, printmaking, drawing, and sculpture. The studio provides a rare opportunity to meet the artist and experience her work up close—away from the distractions of traditional galleries. Viewings are available by appointment only, ensuring a personal and immersive experience for collectors, art advisors, and interior designers.

I warmly invite you to explore and collect my original artwork through my online studio at CarrieBergey.com. All works are available for purchase as part of a limited and exclusive collection. For discerning collectors seeking fine art for their home or workspace, originals can be acquired online and through private studio appointments in San Francisco.

For the Discerning Collector

Carrie Bergey creates art that transforms challenge into beauty, blending abstraction and realism in a way that feels both timeless and deeply personal. Inspired by nature, memory, and lived experience—including profound transitions through PTSD, cancer, and ME/CFS—her work reflects resilience and renewal through layered textures, serene palettes, and contemplative spaces.

Guided by limited energy, Bergey produces only a select number of originals each year, imbuing each work with a rare sense of exclusivity. Her paintings invite collectors not only to view, but to pause, reflect, and connect—offering more than a visual presence, but a meditative experience. For discerning collectors, each piece is both a story of transformation and a contemplative object that elevates the quiet beauty of daily life.
