Meet Maureen

Hi! I’m Maureen C. Berry, a woman with a passion for creativity in the kitchen, storytelling with a purpose, and creating whimsical mixed media watercolor sea creatures to support plastic pollution awareness. I work in a room at the back of my house in Kentucky surrounded by woods, with my dog Cooper, who barks until he’s on my lap. I love fish tacos, wear turquoise glasses, and bake an amazing galette!

We All Come from Somewhere  

We All Come from Somewhere  

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh until I moved to Marathon, Florida in 1989 where I fell in love with the ocean, managed a 64-seat restaurant, learned the value of community, survived Hurricane Andrew, and played bit parts with Marathon Community Theater as a tart, a ghost, and woman keen on landing a man. A decade later, I moved to Orlando where I sold truckloads of commodity groceries to the restaurant and hotel industries.

Sometime later, I met my husband, moved to Kentucky, and wrote my first cookbook. I launched a podcastdid some speaking gigs, survived cancer, wrote another book, then started painting for money. I take my work seriously, but not myself!
