Kerri Ann (Hoskins) Reavis was raised by an artistic family of painters and singer/songwriters. Her late grandfather was her inspiration and continues to influence her work through memories she carries from her childhood. Kerri is a self-taught artist with a God-given ability to express her creativity through various mediums. The prolific calling of her artistry happened later in life, at the age of 42, when she was told to quit marathoning by her doctor. She began by painting after being diagnosed with a rare condition called Ehlers Danlos.
