Kerri Mangold is an artist, writer and actress based in the Chicago, IL area.

“My paintings celebrate the extraordinary found within ordinary moments. Inspired by the expressive spirit of Fauvism and Expressionism, I use vibrant color, layered textures, and intuitive brushwork to reinterpret familiar subjects through emotion rather than strict realism.”

“Working primarily in acrylic—and occasionally incorporating mixed media—I embrace visible brushstrokes and unexpected color relationships as essential elements of my process. Rather than describing the world exactly as it appears, I am interested in conveying how it is experienced: shaped by memory, atmosphere, light, and feeling.”
