Marian Berger is as precious as her watercolors. She is a huge gift to Hawai'i; a legacy in Volcano and throughout the state. She has become well known for her detailed bird paintings. She has lived in Volcano with many of the endemic birds that she treasures for over 35 years." -Karen

(Cropped) "Alala" from The Living Endemic Birds of Hawaii, by Marian Berger

fter growing up in Alaska and living in Volcano Village on the island of Hawaii, Marian Berger acquired the love and need to live in the forest. "I have lived with many of the endemic Hawaiian birds right here in Volcano for 35 years. They are precious gems of our native rain forest: I treasure their sweet songs and the brilliant colors of these birds make my work pure joy!"

Abstracts

"I have become known for my detailed bird paintings in watercolor- and now am becoming known for my abstracts which are painted in soft pastel. These two methods are a good balance for me." -Marian Berger
