Information provided by the Artist: Beverly Mayeri likes to explore the feelings and concerns that move us but are often kept below the surface. She often uses metaphors in her work to express the interior life, our yearnings and connections to one another, and to the world. Both of her parents were artists, and she felt like art was a normal activity growing up. She has been sculpting in clay for over 30 years and has had many solo shows in galleries in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. Her work is included in several museum collections across the U.S.
