About me

Introduction	Kerrie first studied fine art at the Tasmanian School of Art in Hobart Australia in the sixties but, until recently, painted only sporadically. However, over the last couple of years she has established her position in the art world. Her love of painting was re-ignited while living in the Pilbara area of Western Australia known for its stark environment. Her Pilbara series evokes the hidden geometry and amazing colours of the area as well as capturing the idiosyncratic characteristics of the working population of the local towns. After moving to the green scapes of Perth in the south of Western Australia in 2006, Kerrie had to change perspective. Water dominates the city of Perth hence her current works in the Aqua series – no more Pindan red earth. Kerrie was awarded First Prize in the prestigious Cossack Art Award for her category in 2008 and has been highly commended by Betty Churcher and Mark Norval in past exhibitions. Kerrie works predominately in acrylic on large canvasses but dabbles occasionally in oils and enjoys pencil and pen and ink drawing.
