about the artist
Keyaira Terry

Keyaira Terry is an up-and-coming modern fiber artist and leather worker with a focus in home decor. Inspired by her own intense desire to create, she taught herself all the tricks and tools of the trade. This led to Terry opening an Etsy Shop in 2012, featuring hand-sewn bags. In 2016 she shifted her shop and focus to her lifelong passion of interiors and space design. In 2017 she began doing more complex weavings and completed her first installation piece. Over the years she has naturally evolved while being her own boss, as the owner of Keyaiira—a maker, marketer, distributor, and commissioned artist.
