Kerin and her Husband had decided that they wanted to rebuild a home, as verse buying a move-in ready property. They purchased a house that had been vacant for 25 years. No kitchens, no bathrooms, water damage from the roof to the walls to the basement. Anyone else would have ripped this house to the ground, but they didn’t. They loved, rehabbed and revitalized ever inch of that house themselves.
From the electric to the plumbing; from walls to floors to sidding. Driveways, walkways, moving stairs, building bathrooms and a kitchen… there is not a residential construction issue they haven’t run into at some point. Her husband is a NYC Ironworker and her father an officer for the FDNY/ general contractor; combined forces with Kerin’s design background and her mother’s superiorly well trained eye for aesthetics and composition. They made magic happen. During this time she also had two children and published her first children’s book.

She has since moved into the world of international publishing.

The basis of every art piece is a basic line drawing. Kerin wants the world to find the artist within themselves, by using these basic line drawings to create their own masterpieces. She hopes it will inspire artist of all ages, and is always looking for new ideas in this subject matter.
