Artist Statement

This “Imaginary Spaces: Beautiful Mind” series is a reflection the imaginary spaces possible in the human mind. Brilliance, genius, madness, all overlapping to capture the mathematical mysteries and beauty of the world.  Often times those who perceive, wonder and question differently are most harshly judged by society.  I wanted to combine pieces representing a portrait of everyday life, mixed with the intelligence that shapes and explains our world.  I often think of the brilliant and creative minds living in relative isolation, leaving behind their gifts to the benefit of a much larger world.

Drawing inspiration from fragments of discarded materials, she layers old with new, imbuing her work with a sense of time and history, bringing to light the beauty hidden in the details. Her subtle placement of text and images invites the viewer to draw closer and create a personal relationship with the work of art. Kerith studied at the Academy of Art in San Francisco and earned a bachelor’s degree in International Relations from UC Davis, as well as completing studies abroad at the University di Pisa, Italy. She has participated in group exhibitions in the San Francisco Bay Area. Currently, Kerith lives in San Carlos, California with her husband and two children.
