Kerri Lee Johnson lives and works in Oakland, CA. She received a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. Her work is influenced by an amalgamation of external forces like music, literature, fairy tales and historical events. The figures she creates allude to characters in an outre odyssey of an imaged society where its inhabitants worship and prepare for the unknown through ceremonial rites and rituals. The resulting images have been described as whimsical with a peculiar beauty.
