About Kerri Ann
Despite being raised in a creative environment, her path did not fully emerge until later, when her husband Sean recognized something in her before she claimed it… and pushed her toward painting with intention.
She is a mother of four. Her twin sons, Luke and Zachary, were born prematurely and profoundly disabled. Their younger siblings, Samuel and Leah, brought a different perspective… one where even the smallest milestones are seen and felt with deeper gratitude.
Life is not separate from the work.
It is the source of it.
Much of her life has been spent sustaining, protecting, and adapting… not in theory, but in real time. Care is constant. Pressure is constant. Love is constant. The work is created inside that reality.
In 2025, the sudden loss of Zachary changed her. His absence is not something she moves beyond, it is something she carries. Grief does not leave. It changes form. It settles into everything; into how the world is seen, and into what is made.
Earlier in life, Kerri Ann became widely recognized for portraying Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat… a character known for discipline, resilience, and an uncompromising pursuit of truth.
That was never a role to step out of… it became a way of living.
Strength, directness, and the refusal to look away now exist in a different context… within motherhood, loss, advocacy, and endurance that is often unseen.
“My work is rooted in a life shaped by love, pressure, and endurance… and love that does not disappear, even under strain.”
This is where the work comes from.
Kerri Ann works with materials that behave under pressure… resin, liquid metals, minerals, and organic elements that oxidize, crystallize, shift, and transform over time. The process is not forced. It is allowed to react… to become what it becomes.
The surfaces are not meant to feel perfect.
They are meant to feel true… as if they have lived through something.
Later in life, a diagnosis of autism gave language to a way of perceiving that had always been present… a heightened awareness of pattern, detail, and emotional depth. It does not define the work… but it shapes how it is seen and translated.
Everything created carries an internal meaning.
Not all of it is spoken.
This is not work about decoration.
It is about what remains… after everything has been lived through.
“What remains is not what survived… but what refused to disappear.”
