Public art, illustration, theater— it’s all storytelling.

Keri King is a cross-disciplinary artist based in Providence, Rhode Island. Immersive visual storytelling and collaborative world-building are at the core of her work, with a vibrant creative practice that spans the disciplines of public art, illustration, writing, and design for theater. Keri has worked with a dynamic assortment of Rhode Island-based organizations to produce public-facing artwork and live events; her portfolio includes projects with AS220, the Steel Yard, Providence Art, Culture & Tourism, the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, and the Wilbury Theatre Group, among others. King is the recipient of a Curatorial Fellowship with Creature Conserve (2025-26) and a Creative Research Fellowship at Providence Public Library (2017).

A seasoned educator, Keri was the Director of Visual and Performing Arts at the Gordon School (2022-25). From 2010-2025, she taught art to youth in various settings, including the Wolf School (2013-21), Providence Parks Conservancy (2019), and Providence CityArts for Youth (2010-14). 

As her art practice and teaching continue to evolve in conversation with one another, a pedagogy of play and inclusive, multi-modal inquiry have become essential components of King’s work, both in the classroom and in her art studio. 

Keri holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, where she studied Illustration and Literary Arts.
