The Artist, Livia Radu Kerr
![]() I’m a contemporary multidisciplinary artist inspired by the quiet rhythms and raw beauty of nature. Originally from Bucharest, Romania, I now live and work in the Gold Country foothills of Northern California. My work includes both 3D earth-inspired sculptural mosaics, micro-mosaic jewelry, and 2D paintings that blend abstract compositions to florals, landscapes, and birds, offering a diverse yet cohesive body of work. Nature is at the heart of my creative process, guiding my exploration of color and texture as expressive elements in their own right. Although my background is in Management and Marketing, my artistic journey has always been intuitive and hands-on. Using a diverse range of materials, I let each piece unfold naturally through experimentation and trust in the creative process. I share my life with my husband, J. Patrick Kerr — a high school teacher, coach, and author of For What It’s Worth: A Journey of Faith Guided by Love — along with our dog, Kona, and our cat, Cooney. His book, which reflects our shared love of adventure, faith, and life’s journey, is available through a link in my online shop. I warmly invite you to explore my work online or in person — at my studio or at the galleries where I am currently exhibiting, including Auburn Old Town Gallery and The Artery Gallery in Davis, California — and discover a piece that resonates with you, whether for your own collection or as a meaningful gift. My studio is located at 124 Orange St., downtown Auburn, California (parking and entrance off Lewis St.) and is open by appointment. ![]()

The Writer, J. Patrick Kerr
![]() Hi, thank you for taking a moment to read this. I’d love to share a little about my book. My hope is that as you read it, it might help you reflect on your own questions and inspire a deeper trust in God’s goodness. For What It’s Worth: A Journey of Faith Guided by Love is a reflective memoir and faith journey born out of my own questions about value—what we are worth, what God is worth, and how those two ideas so often pass each other by. Through personal stories, ordinary moments, and honest wrestling, the book unfolds in three parts. The first explores the closeness of God and the quiet ways He shows how deeply people are valued. The second turns inward, reflecting on how—even while being deeply valued by God—we often fail to notice, trust, or value Him in return. The final section leans into the harder questions of faith: suffering, loss, doubt, and death, and ends not with tidy answers, but with a growing trust in God’s goodness. If you find yourself asking similar questions—or simply longing for a faith that feels honest, grounded, and lived rather than packaged—this book offers space to reflect, wrestle, wonder, and I’d love to invite you into this journey with me. This book isn’t meant to convince or correct—it’s simply an open door. You’re welcome to step through and decide, for yourself, what it’s worth. |
