On retiring from the FDNY in 2006, knowing nothing about drawing or printmaking, Brenda Berkman decided to study printmaking at the Art Students League, where she quickly fell in love with stone lithography. In 2013, she began the series of stone lithographic prints Thirty-six Views of One World Trade Center to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11 and document the rebuilding of lower Manhattan. Drawing and printing hundreds of stone lithograph prints of 36 iconic views of the new One World Trade Center over the course of three years (averaging a print per month!), Berkman’s series has been collected by the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, St. Olaf College (her alma mater) and a private collector.
