Kerry Darlington Art

“Kerry was finalist in the 'Best Up & Coming Published Artist' in 2007 at the Fine Art Trade Guild Awards”

Boarn in a coastal town of North Wales, Kerry's talent was fuelled by a love of beautiful old picture books (Rackham, Dulac & Beardsley were favourites) which developed into a degree in illustration in 1996. Her acrylic paintings are uniquely formed upon board or canvas first, using texture and gessos. The colour is then built upon in layers to create depth. Her abstract pieces were initially based upon satelite photographs of earth which created the 'Volcanic' Collection in 2005/2006. This has since diversified to include contemporary landscapes and figure-work, all carrying her unique style.
