Michael P. Berman wanders the terrain of the American West and northern Mexico, and recently, has explored the extensive grasslands of Mongolia. To his art Berman brings an awareness of the complexity of the biological world. To the political and social dialogue of the West he brings his art as a catalyst to renew and heighten our perception of the land. Berman's photographs have been exhibited widely and are in numerous collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Amon Carter, and the New Mexico Museum of Art. A former Guggenheim Fellow and recipient of the New Mexico Governor's Arts Award, he is the author of GILA (MNMP) and was photographer on two books in Charles Bowden's trilogy, TRINITY and INFERNO. He lives in southwestern New Mexico.
