Rich Berry has been an artist for 15 years. He began creating his pen and ink art as a way to diversify his creativity after being a musician for 50 years. His artwork has won many awards, including his very first show at the Sunflower Art Festival in Desoto, Kansas. Much of his work is black and white; however, he also has works in which he uses color ink washes — allowing him to remain a pen and ink artist. He uses a traditional dip pen with India ink and has developed his style using fountain pens with forge proof ink — ensuring the artwork will never fade. Additionally, his work is produced on archival papers.
