Arts Orange County has announced that our esteemed SCA member, Suki Berg, has been chosen as Orange County outstanding artist of the year. This special honor recognizes her long career and cultural contributions as an artist and supporter of the arts in Orange County. Suki continues her art making in painting and printmaking, is a member of Orange County Center for Comtemporary Art (OCCCA) and a life member of Southern California Artists, Inc. We congradulate her on receiving this recognition. As published in an article by Richard Chang in the Orange County Register dated Tuesday, October 7, Suki is recognized for her cultural achievement in visual art. She is honored with an "Oscar-like" statue, given at an awards ceremony held at the Balboa Club last week.
Per the OCR article, "It's great to be validated this way," Berg, 91, said in an interview. "It's hard to describe the feeling. I'm a very happy person. I'm very satisfied."
In April, Berg had a retrospective covering more than six decades of creative work at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Ana.
