Berman’s urban landscapes, inspired by her travels to Morocco, London, Paris, Ireland and New York, have the distinct characteristics of receding perspective and intricately detailed interiors. The people she met on those travels became the subjects of her anecdotal works and reflect society’s marginalized.Estimate: $600–800
