Katrin Berge

 
 

Katrin Berge is a Norwegian artist and illustrator living in Bergen where she loves to explore the forest and nature surroundings for inspiration and recreation. As a child she lived by the forest and sea and grew up observing nature in all of its forms everyday, and the fascination for all kinds of animals, insects and creatures of the wild has not ceased to increase. Katrin works with graphite to create images with a high level of detail, mixing together fauna and animals and often leans towards the surreal and dark.
