Childhood
Born in Greatyarmouth, Norfork, England in 1971 of Irish English parents. Childhood was spent travelling in Australia, New Zealand, South Pasific and USA until finally the Buck family settled in the Wicklow mountains Ireland. Durring the travels, which included a horse back trek through New Zealand, Kerrin began to display a creative ability inspired perhaps by the Tongan children making intricate carvings from sandle wood. By the age of 14 Kerrin could complete a competant life study and was painting and drawing at every free moment.
