Keri Sheheen is an artist from the Forgotten Borough of Staten Island, NY. Her brand, Parlor Trick Prints, is a collection of hand-printed works including silkscreens, etchings, woodcuts, and image transfers. The subjects of Keri's designs are often morbid, yet humorous characters that live in a strange world fueled by her fascination of mortality, superstitions and unusual phenomenon. When she's not making work, you can find her traveling around the tri-state area with her art-filled suitcases.
