Elizabeth Berrien was born in 1950. At 13, she was admitted to mensa, where she had a memorable meeting with Buckminster Fuller. As a high school sophomore she came in sixth in a statewide math competition against a field of juniors and seniors. Her love for plane geometry and topology were vital to her later explorations. One of the world's foremost wire sculptors, she pioneered her own form of textile-based, hand-twisted, non-traditional wire sculpture in 1968. She is the winner of the 2005 Victor Jacoby Award ($3,500) for Innovation and Excellence in Art.

This outstanding exhibit generated more delight and enthusiasm than any other we have held at our museum. Our only regret is that we booked it for only two months; six would have been much better .

An absolutely outstanding wildlife sculptor. To see a Berrien sculpture is to gain an instantaneous understanding of the very essence of a creature's spirit.
