About The Artwork
Framed and ready to hang (note size of artwork INCLUDES frame) actual size of artwork is 49cm H x 75.25cm W I work from found and created photographs and film stills. At first glance I was immediately taken by this image - the wonderful sense of floating up to the surface, the fun of doing it in a bikini and heels, the colour and light filtered through the water... it represented elation, freedom, breaching, breaking free, coming to the surface, and importantly renewal to me. In the theme of renewal the beautiful professional frame is made of recycled floor boards. I have recycled the canvas from a previous acrylic painting of mine, covered it in Japanese Rice Paper to give a lovely texture that is akin to the movement on the surface of water. As with most of my paintings I paint in layers - using contemporary techniques the background using expressionistic action painting techniques - pouring, dripping, splashing paint and involving my body in the painting process rather than just the paint brush. The figure was created using pop art techniques and stencils, and a further layer of hand painting brought the foreground and background together. My palette is lovely and bright in this painting, mostly consisting of complementary colours of orange and blue. I particularly love this piece - the colour and the fun subject - and hope you like it to. This painting is painted using high quality artist acrylic paints and mediums from Matisse, Golden, and Liquitex Professional Spray Paint. Japanese Rice Paper has been applied to the canvas prior to painting the image that creates an impression of movement to the surface of the painting. The painting is finished with a Matisse Polymer Satin Varnish which protects the surface with a smooth finish. It has been professionally framed, signed on the front, and is ready to enjoy and hang.

Australia
Kerry was born in Wudinna, a remote and tiny dusty town in South Australia, in 1972. This was a time and culture where women weren't allowed in the local pub and were expected to quit work when they got married. She distinctly recalls seeing articles about Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol as a teenager but thought the art world was a world where she couldn't belong - girls were supposed to marry farmers and have children. After a diversion into a "sensible career" and motherhood, Kerry went back to her passion and was conceptually trained through the South Australian School of Art in 2012, with a Bachelor of Visual Art, Specialisation Painting. During her studies, she turned to her love of stencil-making and action painting techniques with acrylic paint and created her own style. Kerry won the UniSA Medal for her outstanding academic and artistic results, and in 2013 her artwork was selected by top South Australian art-aficionado's, including the then Director of the Art Gallery of South Australia, Nick Mitzevich (now director of the National Gallery of Australia), to participate in The Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition - an incredible honour for any SA graduating tertiary art student. Today she works as an underwater photographer and painter from her home studio in Darwin, Northern Territory. She has participated in many group and solo shows. Her artwork is held in private collections in New Zealand, The United States, Switzerland, Germany, Hong Kong, and all-around Australia. She was selected as a Finalist in the 2021 Bluethumb Art Award, and her upcoming projects include a two-month residency in Germany, which will be followed by her first international solo show. She has also just been selected as a Finalist for The Percival Photographic Portrait Prize 2024. Her mission is to uplift women with her art – this is the engine that fires her entire practice.
