Hi! I’m Maureen C. Berry, a woman with a passion for creativity in the kitchen, storytelling with a purpose, and an artist who paints nature watercolors. My home studio is in Kentucky, where I’m surrounded by woods, and joined by my wire fox terrier Cooper, who barks until he’s on my lap and is also quite the personality on Substack Notes.

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.
Mid-life, I met my husband, moved to Kentucky, and wrote my first cookbook, Salmon from Market to Plate. I launched a podcast, Green Fish Blue Oceans, and did some speaking gigs. I also survived life-threatening dedifferentiated liposarcoma twice, co-wrote a memoir, Midlife Cancer Crisis, and then started painting.
