Keri Dennison-Leidecker (she/her/hers) is a radical introvert and a fearless observer. She is also a photographer (AFA, BFA) and graphic designer (MFA) whose aesthetic balances a love of nature, a passion for skateboarding culture, admiration for the mighty pencil, and a keen eye for subtle beauty.
In her MFA thesis at Vermont College of Fine Arts, she focused on designing space for introverts in working and learning environments and expanding our understanding of introverts beyond simple stereotypes. Living that example, she has devoted much of her time to working within her community, serving on the board of Riverzedge Arts in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, and with various community organizations in Providence, including City Arts, RIOT, and RHDRI.
She teaches art and design at the Community College of Rhode Island and Roger Williams University and has done freelance design work for Youth Pride Inc, BCBSRI’s Diversity & Inclusion Council, and other organizations. Her photography and design work have been featured in Hunger Mountain Review and Providence Monthly, on WJAR, and in gallery shows in Bristol, Providence and Warwick, Rhode Island; Dartmouth and New Bedford, Massachusetts; and Montpelier, Vermont. In a previous life, she worked for Anthropologie and traveled widely, opening new stores and creating visual design.
A lifelong resident of New England, she spends as much time as possible hiking and running around in the woods, but she always returns home to her ever-growing pack of senior rescue dogs.
