Berg’s series, “People, Places, and Things,” features photography “with a twist.” The series is described as being inspired by “the natural beauty and intricate details that catch her eye,” with photographs that “capture everything from majestic trees and blooming flowers to quiet moments with animals and familiar landscapes — finding the extraordinary in ordinary life around us.”

The winner of The Art of Elysium People’s Artist Awards with Johnny Depp will receive $25,000, a feature in Artforum magazine, and an exhibition at The Art of Elysium’s Salon in Los Angeles.
