About

Green Art is owned and operated by Kittery, Maine-based visual artist and naturalist Thomas Berger.

Thomas Berger grew up in a rural town on the Moselle river in Germany, where he developed a deep passion for the beauty of nature, which already inspired him as a child to create drawings, paintings and sculptures. In his teenage years he also gardened and kept bees and sheep. After obtaining degrees in agriculture and economic development, his professional career as an agronomist brought him to France and Australia. He worked for the German Volunteers Service in the Republic of Niger and at their headquarters in Berlin/Germany.

As an active artist, he participated in art exhibitions in various parts of Germany, and designed postal stamps for the government of Niger. In the mid 1990s, he moved to the United States, where he founded Green Art - a landscaping company offering design and installation services for 25 years. His designs focused on the use of natural stone and the incorporation of native plants in his elegant ornamental gardens and garden habitats.

As a naturalist Thomas is interested in the relationships between plants and insects. He loves native bees, and he photographs plants, insects and other wildlife in their native habitats and in gardens. Since his relocation to the coast of Maine, he is also engaged in the artistic presentation of all life forms of the ocean.

He perfected his skills of both stone and bronze sculpting. His sculptural work ranges from handheld pieces to large-scale play sculptures and can be found in private collections and public locations in New England and beyond. He has received awards both for his landscape design, artwork and photography.
