join oil painter katrina berg

in the candy colored studio

katrina madsen berg | oil painter | mother | podcaster

welcome to my candy colored studio! bonjour! i'm katrina berg, an oil painter, mother, podcaster, chocolate lover, and francophile.

i paint large scale florals & landscapes in thick candy-colored oils on curved shapes that shine like stained-glass. portals that invite us to become our best self through our savior jesus christ — each flower and creature are chosen for their symbolism that builds an overall theme and story.

join me in my midway, utah studio, where i serve a palette of support, hope and love, with a side of realness! as a mother of 5 (including twins lol!), i know that life is rarely easy and jolly...but savoring the sweet moments gives us the strength we need to find peace, growth, and fulfillment along our journey.

along our life journey there are times to mourn, times to rest, times to celebrate and times to reflect. As we reflect, we can memorialize those special times with those we love most. these are the memories and loved ones who help us through the most challenging of obstacles.

the sweet treats in the painting: macarons, jerusalem almonds and petit four remind us to savor and look for the precious priceless moments in the everyday, for they will sustain us and allow us to find joy despite hardship.

the song title was chosen as it tells a story of two people who meet by chance and share beautiful moments together.

the flamingo symbolizes grace & balance, the duck: good luck & happiness, the warbler: endurance and hope, and the black swan: loyalty and the soul. wisteria represent hospitality & devotion, gardenias: peace & calm, and dahlias: kindness & grace.

my husband carl's grandfather in-law lived in park city, utah with his mining family. i've often wondered what the foothills, working farms and the land looked like back then.

the mcpolin barn is a park city treasure reminding us of times past, the heritage of the valley, a simpler time, a beautiful and abundant time. in this series, i've left out the highway and much of the modern buildings hoping to get a peek of what the mcpolin homestead could have felt like for ancestors and residents of our past.

at times we find ourselves in the darkest of times – cultivating friendships and surrounding ourselves with those that uplift, inspire and support us on our journey will help us through those difficult moments.

in this piece, the roseate spoonbill invites us to care for each other as we overcome obstacles, the scarlet ibis reminds us to use wisdom and discernment. the white orchids and eucalyptus leaves were chosen as they symbolize purification and the coneflower represents resilience.

colby + sarah larsen: a joint pursuit in god, family, art gallery business, abundance and connection

by katrina berg

CANDYcolored studio podcast episode 259:

what a gift to spend time with gallery owners of golden spiral fine art - colby & sarah larsen!! i'm so grateful to be one of the 50 artists they currently represent in their 6 park city main street galleries (see in links below). in this sweet interview, hear how sarah & colby met at the airport (thanks to colby's sisters), were soon married the next year and began their grand adventure in art, business, infertility, blood banks, entrepreneurship, & family. they share about breaking through perceived glass ceilings, navigating an uncharted business model, learning to best support one another and cheer one another on along the way. there is advice for spouses and reminders of priorities, also suggestions specifically for artists. 

whether you're a seasoned or new collector of art, and aspiring artist, a solo soul wondering if marriage and family is really worth it, this is the episode for you. honest hardship, grief and sorrow, learning to trust god above all and let him guide your journey. tips on how to date after marriage - making sure you're not "dumping" but instead "decompressing" before starting the official date. learning how to take on the "balancing act" of knowing what are the best responsibilities for each spouse - which to share and which to take on solo. setting, going after and reaching goals together. realizing that in your pursuit, that you've not only found joy, but see it also in your children (the best fruit!).

by katrina berg

candy colored portals invite us to new places, to become more, to remember special moments with your favorite people. let these paintings bring take you to where you belong. my “dream a little dream” series represents the duality we all experience. we might be facing the darkest of days, the dark night of the soul - we might be walking into the unknown, or maybe we’re grieving and need a safe place to grieve or process. depicted are birds and flowers that represent loyalty, wisdom, discernment, purification, resilience, & renewal. may the symbols of the chosen birds and flowers bring you back to the light.
