Kerry Smith - Art Director and Lyricist

Kerry has a creative and artistic eye having started her career as a Picture Researcher for SHE Magazine in London. A deep pull brought her to the moor ten years ago, along with her beloved late spaniel. She has more recently discovered that her ancestors were Dartmoor Moormen going back almost 200 years. Her ancestors inspire her poetry, photography and passion for hiking high Dartmoor.
