Bergner is inspired by the natural world and enjoys celebrating “the wonder of it all” through his art. Impressive.

really inspiring work
my eyes thank you Mr Bergner.
What wonderful topology! Thank you for the link to his web site. I do wish I could see these in person so that I could examine those pieces that are embedded with frit up close. They’re intriguing.
