Kerri-Lynne Emily Dick was born in 1983 to Sherri and Beau Dick in Alert Bay, British Columbia. She started weaving when she was eight years old. From age 9 to 16 she moved up and down the coast, continuing to learn along the way from weavers April Churchill, Donna Cranmer, Primrose Adams, and William White. She spent much time studying works in museum collections, too, including those by her ancestors Emily White and Isabel Edenshaw. Her father Beau Dick taught her how to carve.
