Kersten
McKee
|
Kersten was born in 1964 and raised in a small country village outside the town
of Varberg on the west coast of Sweden. Today, Kerstin works as a painter and
ceramist living a life of dual residence, in Seattle Washington and in Varberg.
She often talks of the resulting double influx of ideas and impulses, as nature
and people of two west coasts inspire her work.
Art is an important part of Swedish education and mandatory for all children
during their first nine years of elementary school. Kerstin was fortunate to
have teachers that understood her passion for the visual arts and encouraged her
to develop her talent. Throughout high-school she continued her studies with
elective art courses and knew by then that art was to be the essence of her
life.
"Nature with its power, growth, beauty, fertility and more provides me with an
abundance of sensual and provocative elements from which to create a dialogue.
My work is a celebration to the forces of nature. and it is how my mind's eye
visualizes the beings of the plant kingdom."
