of her childhood was spent in Northfield, Massachusetts. The artist
has always been involved in many aspects of art including; painting,
sculpture, photography, dance, film, writing and theatre. The artist
began her studies in film and theatre arts which has provided her

her to Massachusetts College of Art in Boston for three years, where
she developed her painting and photography skills. In 1999 Kerry
opened and operated the Freedom Art Gallery in Northfield, MA. Over
the two years of it’s operation, Kerry organized several successful
exhibitions of other regional artists’ work. However, feeling
the need for closure, she decided to return to school to complete
her degree in Fine Arts at the University of New Mexico. While at
UNM, the artist concentrated upon learning alternative processes
to compliment her painting and sculpture techniques. After graduating
in 2002,Kerry moved home to New England to manage the Green Trees
Gallery in Northfield, MA, and be close to family. |
