Keven Sherwood

Ceramics

Keven Sherwood was a student of AUArts, majoring in ceramics and pottery. She had been attending the university on and off since 2014, having had to take time off for various health reasons. In September 2020, she was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer, and was treated with chemotherapy, radiation, and brachytherapy therapy. Keven fought the hardest fight of her life against cervical cancer but unfortunately the cancer won.

On October 15th, 2020, Keven passed away peacefully at the side of the love of her life Jordan "River" Easton. She left behind her mother Pam Sherwood, her dad Geoff Carberry and her beautiful little girl, Lunabelle who is 4 years old. There is nothing Keven loved more than creating at AUArts and one of her greatest dreams was to earn her degree and teach people to help them on their journey in becoming artists. The family of Keven will be creating a scholarship in her name so her she can do just that and her spirit can live on in the school that she loved so much. More details about how to donate to the fund will be made available soon.

Keven's Ceramic Pieces

The true love of Keven's artistic life: Ceramics! There are few things Keven loved more than pulling out a big lump of clay, throwing it on the wheel and starting to make form from the formless. Keven had a knack for mixing glazes and slips in interesting combinations to make her pieces crackle and bleed bubbles of glassy glaze over the sides. She always wanted to find new ways to do things and wanted to be on the frontier. Ceramics was her escape into her own creative mind.
