Education:
Creative Growth Art Center, 1978-present

Kerry Damianakes has great strength in her hands, which gives her the ability to powerfully manipulate the materials she uses in the production of her art. Working in a bold and colorful style, she recreates images of her favorite foods. She has a love of clean and simple form bounded by strong, black line work. Her expressionistic drawings of fish, flowers, animals and food reflect her dynamic personality.
