About the Instructor
Maureen Kerr
I was born in Switzerland and began traveling with my family at an early age. As a child, I had the opportunity to live in various countries including Germany, France, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Japan before finally settling in San Diego California, where I still reside. Traveling has been a big part of my life, and it's where I draw much of my inspiration and passion for art. Whether I'm hiking in Sedona, Arizona, taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, browsing through an open-air market in Cambodia, or just sitting in my backyard, I see life, vibrancy and color everywhere. My goal as an artist is to bring some of what I see to life on canvas, so you can share my journey with me.
