| BIOGRAPHY: Kerr Grabowski’s successful integration of her love of color and mark-making with the challenge of creating wearable pieces has resulted in a whimsically sophisticated line of one of a kind fabrics and art wear. Known for her innovative approaches to dyeing and screening processes, Kerr is the developer of Deconstructed Screen Printing, a printing/monoprint technique allowing for a freer, more painterly approach to screen printing.
Formerly head of Fibers at Peters Valley Craft Center in NJ, Kerr is a NJ Council on the Arts Fellowship recipient, and has been widely published including Ornament, Fiber Arts, Surface Design Journal, Fiber Arts Design Book Six and Silk Painting for Fashion and Fine Art. Kerr exhibits and teaches surface design, color and design workshops internationally. "Marks, both narrative and symbolic, have always been my way of relating to, and interpreting the world. My work is informed by a fascination with human interactions, my Mississippi background, and an interest in all cultures where art is an integral part of daily life-where mark making is a natural activity, a part of the celebration of being.” |
