kerri schmidt

I am a Boston-based multimedia artist, educator and explorer. I seek to create points of entry in my art that invite, engage, awaken a sense of wonder, and develop new ways of seeing and knowing. My sculptural pieces and installations are created from re-purposed materials and discovered treasures. My photographs mark points in time. I spent the first half of my life in the vast landscapes of Northern California and the second half in the intimate settings of New England. These nature-based experiences and a profound pleasure for the small moments encountered during daily life are deeply rooted in my artwork and reflected in the conversations I create with the world.
