Handmade Keepsakes • Pet-Inspired Art • Creative Guides

Welcome to Kerry’s Keepsakes, a cozy North Kingstown studio where art, memory, and companionship meet. Every keepsake begins with a story, a favorite moment, a beloved face, a reminder of love that deserves a tangible place to live.

Here, creativity and care come together in small but meaningful ways. Each piece is crafted by hand, shaped with intention, and guided by the same heart that inspires the bonds we share with our pets and the people who love them.

Whether it’s a memorial portrait, a handmade ornament, or a simple project shared from the studio table, every creation is made to honor connection, comfort, and the quiet beauty of keeping something close.

Meet Kerry
