Kerie van Zeyst
Kerie lives deep in the forest, near the village of Cloudcroft. She and her husband live off-grid in a traditional log cabin— surrounded by nature, starlight, and constant curious creatures. This deep immersion in the wilderness permeates throughout her art, a playful blend of photography, illustration and printmaking, colored pencil and pastel —each piece infused with a joyful love for the natural world and all of its inhabitants.
​
With a master’s degree in art and a lifelong passion for folklore, Kerie blends myth and habitat into whimsical visual narratives, full of wonder. Her artwork reads like secret conversations between skies, lands, wildlife and the ancient tales that they tell.
​
When she is not creating, Kerie is a passionate grant writer and advocate for nonprofits that focus on hunger and aging. She's also an avid traveler - having explored Nature, culture and traditions in over thirty countries around the world.
