Kerri Scharlin is an American painter[1] and conceptual artist[2] who lives and works in New York City.[3] She is known for a series of conceptual projects made in the 1990s that explored identity through the outsourcing of self portraiture to observers such as police sketch artists, art students, and magazine profilers.[4] The New York Times said her works are “proof that identity is not fixed, that one’s persona and possibly even one’s self are malleable and fluid, capable of continual adjustment.”[2]
