Libby Berry

"For a lifetime of dedication towards the creation of a better world through aesthetics. For elevating the understanding and importance of the arts within our culture."
Libby Berry is the founder and leader of the New Renaissance Academy, School of Living Oils, in Washington State. She has spent over 25 years teaching her students an awareness of the qualities that make a great work of art.

Her research into the golden ages of art, such as the Renaissance, the Impressionists, and the Hudson River artists led her to discover an entire body of lost technology. This extensive data covers natural laws, which can be used to dramatically increase the effect that an artist can have on his or her audience. She has personally trained over 400 artists, many of who are now working full-time as artists throughout the world.

Libby's career as a teacher has been devoted to helping return art to all, meaning anyone who wishes to understand, admire and create beautiful artwork, so that they can help to build a better world through aesthetics.

Libby makes sure that every student understands that it is their responsibility to bring a new standard of excellence to the field of the arts, because art, as an expression of humanity, can inspire a culture to reach for higher levels of thought and spirit and creativity.
