Mitch Berg cannot wipe that smile off of his face. He is a self-taught artist based in Albuquerque, NM. With a degree in journalism (University Wyoming, 1986) and a background in radio, and tribal textiles, storytelling is a central component to his mixed media  sculpture. 

​

Since 1996, Mitch has worked with fused and lampwork glass, adding elements of welded scrap metal, altered wood, and found objects to create one-of-a-kind constructions. His work incorporates humor and humanity, delighting audiences and building a solid collector base. Since 2001, Mitch has participated in art shows across the country at which his iconic, colorful creations have received numerous awards. 

​

Mitch is also the director of Fuego, a collaborative art studio in Albuquerque's South Valley. Founded in 2016, Fuego hosts individual workshops, provides access to tools, runs a non-profit apprentice program, and features a set of overnight accommodations. Supported by community partners and generous funders, Fuego is a hub for creativity, learning and fun.
