Artwork

[edit]

DeBerardinis is an abstract painter with works as large as nine feet,[6] and three-dimensional pieces which incorporate recycled materials.[7] Her artwork has been exhibited nationally and internationally in museums,[5] galleries,[7][8][9][10][11] universities,[12] and art venues[13][14][15][16] and is included in both public and private collections. Her work has been exhibited at The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Hampton University Museum, the Dallas Women’s Museum, the City Museum of Varaždin, Croatia, The Museum of Latin American Art, the Noyes Museum, the African American Museum of Dallas, and the Islip Museum.[17]

She notes about her own work:

"There is no representational narrative. I aim to achieve subtle reaction and to evoke some emotional or visual response. The viewer is not expected to see what I see, but to use the work as a source for their individual perception based upon their personal filters be it the heart, soul, brain or their eye. Each painting requires laying and interlocking materials. The work begins and ends with a dance. There is no sound in the studio. The creative process writes the tempo and is the only beat. I watch the pigment spread, drip, melding, expand and shrink, then merge and part again repeating until dry-forever changing."[18]

In 2003, she was nominated by art historian Barbara Rose, David Rubin and other jurors to represent the United States as a lifetime member on its team for the Florence, Italy Biennale.[19]
