BERISFORD

Berisford studied graphic design in London before launching a 25-year career in advertising. In 2019, he moved to the Bay Area, inspired by the vibrant light and retro Americana, and began painting. Two years later, he transitioned to a full-time artist. His work, influenced by his background as an art director, often features strong compositions and large negative spaces. Berisford is selective with materials, using Michael Harding handmade oil paints for a rich finish. His “Pantone Paintings” reflect his graphic design roots, capturing specific moments with emotive colors. The collaboration with Little Saint celebrates color, texture, and the playful spirit that complements the ambiance.

“In California we are spoiled by the sheer abundance of places that transport the mind to happy and worry-free times. The work is made from impasto brushwork in joyous colors which aims to capture California like a Polaroid camera.”
