JoAnne Berkow (born October 9, 1949),[citation needed] also known as JB Berkow, is an American female artist and writer.[1] She is the founder and president of Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts.[2]
Early life
Born in 1949, Berkow attended Walt Whitman High School, located in Bethesda, Maryland. She left college[which?] after two years to pursue her artistic ambitions independently.[citation needed]
Career
At 21, Berkow held her first solo exhibition in a private collector's[who?] home. She is known for her realistic oil paintings of European cityscapes.[2] Besides her paintings, Berkow is also known for her figurative sculptures.[3] Initially working with bronze, she has since transitioned to glass.[3]
Berkow's works have been exhibited in notable venues, including Madison Avenue in New York City, Washington, D.C., Boston University, and the Vatican in Italy.[citation needed] Her work has been featured in notable publications over the years.[4][5][6]
At the age of 26, Berkow founded Touchstone Gallery, a cooperative gallery in Washington, D.C.[3] At forty-five, she founded Frenchman's Art Gallery and Studios in Juno Beach, Florida.[7] Ten years later, she established a retail gallery known as RosettaStone Fine Art Gallery.[1]
In 2015, Berkow transformed the historic Florida East Coast Railway Train Depot in Lake Worth Beach, Florida, into the Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts, a 3D fine art fabrication center specializing in glass.[8][9]
Berkow has written four published books that reflect her personal experiences.[10][11]
