Megan Kerr, born in Geneva, New York, is a metalsmith, contemporary jeweler, and artist. She creates sculptures and jewelry that disassemble familiar and intimate forms to portray vulnerability, impermanence, and repair. Objects that are carried down through generations have a palpable trace. The impulse to find objects that bridge life and death is significant in healing. She studies the private and intimate identity that remains within objects that are closely related to our bodies. 

She received a BFA in Metal from SUNY New Paltz in December of 2023. She has furthered her professional development as a resident at the Vermont Studio Center, and Touchstone Center for Craft and  was recignized as Best in Show through the Baltimore Jewlery Center's Interantional Graduate Exhibtion. She creates tools with function and dysfunction using varying processes to create tension that pulls buried thoughts to the surface and forces confrontation with the self. She makes tools that tell the tale of time, shown through strains and ruptures. Her works lead the viewer to consider utility and mending as a form of empowerment within healing through grief.
