Raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Kerri attended the University of Manitoba-School of Fine Arts and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Her passion is to collaborate with others on projects that promote social awareness and change. Her results are both thought provoking and aesthetically beautiful. Nowhere is this more evident than *Pause in Plight.*

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to create this Art Exhibit, and to work with amazing people towards a common goal to expose the truth. The Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund (CFWWIRF) inspires me. Their initiative to commemorate and acknowledge those affected by Canada’s first national internment operations ignites my heart. It reminds me that history is not condemned to repeat itself. As we learn from our past may we collectively move forward in better light.
