She has been creating beautiful and unusual works of art for 52 years and still continues to evolve as an artist. Her education started in 1959 at the college of San Mateo, and the Richmond Art Center in California. Bertha has worked with celebrated artists such as: Lita Gerrard, Ernie Kim, Paul Soldner, Michael Arntz, Hal Reigger, Marguerite Wildenhain, and Daniel Rhodes. Having taught workshops all over the country in studios and colleges, Bertha received many awards and has two pieces in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
