Kerry Pease-Coble has over 25 years of private teaching experience and is an award winning exhibiting painter. Kerry obtained my BFA from Rhode Island School of Design with further study at Tyler School of Art and MICA, and has been honored with a residency at the prestigious Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA. Kerry has spent their life surrounded by artists and educators. Their father, the late David Pease, was the dean at both Tyler School of Art and Yale Art School and has work in dozens of major museum collections. Guilford has been their adult home and "happy place". It has been a dream of theirs to move back to New England and reestablish the studio here.
