Oh hey there, I’m Kerry!
A colourful Canadian fine artist.
In 2018 my entire life changed when I suffered a brain injury….
My story…
In the blink of an eye, the life I knew disappeared. After sustaining a brain injury, my days running around the city for the fast-paced, demanding corporate career that I once loved where suddenly over. Extreme vertigo, epilepsy, sensory flooding and chronic aural migraines became my new reality and everything I thought I knew about my future disappeared.
It was during this time I first picked up a paintbrush from a basket of art supplies my colleagues had gifted me as a tool to aid in my recovery. And what resulted was a brand new beginning.
I poured myself into learning and refining my craft as an artist, fascinated by the riot of colours and textures that a blank canvas could hold. Painting became a window into endless possibility as my life transformed before my eyes.
While I still struggle daily with nagging symptoms from my injury, I’ve found tremendous joy through creating art and using a bright palette of colours inspired by the visual distortions of my aural migraines.
My mission is to share joy through colourful fine art, helping others to find brightness in the most unexpected places. The intention behind every pieces I create is to spark a positive domino effect, inspiring you to shift your outlook and find the humour and beauty in life.
