Brian Berman: A Transformational Life Journey

From silence and sorrow to healing and hope.

In this deeply personal memoir, artist and peacebuilder Brian Berman recounts a journey shaped by Holocaust memory, the search for belonging, and the calling to build bridges of peace. The Unseen Hand: My Journey of Becoming chronicles how early wounds transformed into a lifelong devotion to reconciliation, compassionate listening, and art as a universal language of healing.

From intimate encounters to global initiatives, Brian’s story affirms that peace begins within and radiates outward. His creation of the HOLOS — a symbol for One Humanity — embodies his vision for a more compassionate and united world. For readers drawn to stories of transformation, resilience, and the healing power of art, The Unseen Hand offers both inspiration and hope for our shared future.

Brian has 20 memoirs for sale during the studio tour and if you are unable to attend, you can order directly from Amazon with this link. http://bit.ly/4gW73Wo

My creativity for the last couple of years has been devoted to writing my memoir, and the administrative role as the president of the Ojai Studio Artists. Over the last few months, I've been working on my new website

Here are some images from the home page.

I've created a series of Wall Artworks with Printmaking and Photo Metal Prints.

My HOLOS Collection is one of the most popular Studio Tour Items I offer.
