ABOUT THE ARTIST

A visual artist and designer, passionate about the Australian landscape, with a love of quirky, mid-century decor

'Opening myself up to pursue my art, It's like I am seeing the world more clearly, more vividly; I feel a strong compulsion to depict my surroundings as they feel, rather than simply what I see before me', says Kerry.

Kerry's works are confident, illustrative and textural, her style is ever-evolving, yet remains truly unique. Beyond the layers of colours, brushstrokes and line work is an underlying delicacy – an empathy, a 'quietness' – that at once reflects both her quiet, thoughtful nature and an innate ability to capture the psyche of her subject, be it landscape, interior, or other.

Based in Bendigo, in regional Victoria, Kerry is inspired by the natural environment, often using colours from the local landscape in her artwork. Working in the field, or from photographs she takes in the field, Kerry creates intuitive interpretations of a scene or moment, all the while carefully composing her works.

Kerry has a Bachelor of Arts from La Trobe University and a Certificate III in Visual Arts from the Northern College of the Arts and Technology. She regularly exhibits in Melbourne and regional Victoria and beyond. Currently, Kerry works from her home studio overlooking a native bush garden in Flora Hill.
