Artist statement
Kerryn says, “I am a self-taught emerging artist, who finds inspiration in the natural world, which I photograph for later reference. Oil on canvas or graphite on paper are my preferred ways to describe people, animals and botanicals; with a goal of allowing the creative process to bring out the subject’s true characteristics”. |
