Keri Pickett is an award-winning filmmaker, photographer, author and artist. Most well known as a photographer, her career started in 1983 when legendary NYC Village Voice Director of Photography Fred McDarrah gave Pickett an internship at the newspaper, where she worked until the late 80’s when she left NYC, returning to MN due to a diagnosis of Burkitt’s lymphoma cancer. During her two years of chemotherapy she turned to photographing children who were coping with a life-threatening illness. She received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and a Bush Foundation Fellowship for this work.
Over the decades a pattern emerged, confirming Pickett’s artistic interest in family and community in her documentation of life’s commonalities in disparate communities.
