Kerras Trent Jeffery (1966-2017) was one of the leading folk artists of his generation in eastern Canada. Born in P.E.I., Kerras began his working career as a laborer, but gradually moved into folk art. He operated Back Road Folk Art in Alma, P.E.I., for 20 years. All his creations were made from repurposed materials. His playful sculptures continue to be collected across Canada and overseas.
