Kerri Jerome: Mushroom Ornaments

About The Artist

Kerri Jerome

Kerri Jerome’s work is inspired by that which is witnessed in nature and as an artist she translates those messages into pieces that complement the organic properties and materiality of clay. Through the utilization of skilled techniques, including sgraffito, painting and sculpture, Kerri is able to bring her artistic vision and unique designs to life. Motivated by a lifetime of environmental activism and a deep interest in how one relates to all natural elements, her work  encourages the viewer to consider the messages within. In creating each piece, she tells a lighthearted story of the importance of environmental stewardship. Although her introduction to clay began while working in a wholesale slip-cast studio, Kerri’s preference for the medium revealed itself at a young age.  As a youth she received a post-secondary diploma in painting and illustration and continued her studies for several years under the tutelage of other accomplished potters and artists in order to perfect her craft. Further experience has led her to roles as an assistant artist, community arts program teacher, and clay educator. Her work is exhibited at the Gardiner Museum Shop in Toronto and she has been selected to present in several juried shows and festivals throughout the province of Ontario. ​
