Rachel Berwick (born 1962) is an American visual artist whose sculptural installations explore themes of extinction and loss in the natural world.

[1][2] Born in Somers Point, New Jersey, Berwick grew up in a rural setting where she gained an appreciation for nature and biology.

[4] Berwick has created art installations focused on bird migrations,[5] language transmission,[6] and dying species,[7] often taking inspiration from the animal world.

[8] For her living installation, entitled may-por-é (1996–present), Berwick trained parrots to mimic sounds and words from the Maipure language, as documented in the writings and research of Alexander von Humboldt.

[9] In her mixed-media video installation, entitled Lonesome George (2005–2010), Berwick invites the viewer to reflect upon the extinction of a species of Galápagos tortoise.
