Karen Berry
Cherokee Nation
About the Artist
Karen is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, who grew up in Texas and currently resides in Garland, Texas. She learned about Cherokee culture and art through her mother, Martha Berry, who revived the tradition of Cherokee beadwork. She fell in love with gourd art through her history of woodworking and painting. This medium was a natural progression, combining these talents. She incorporates pre-European contact and modern Cherokee designs into her work. She began fingerweaving in 2012, adopting a style typically associated with the Southeastern Woodland tribes of the 18th century. She, along with other weavers, has helped lead a revival of this traditional style within the Cherokee Nation. Additionally, she has revived the practice of creating bandolier bags using this technique.
