Artist: Kerry Darlington
Kerry Darlington was born in Rhyl, North Wales in 1974.Her passion for art was inspired by a love of Pre-Raphaelite painting and Art Nouveau. This developed into a degree in illustration in 1996. Following University Kerry worked in South America before returning to the UK to work as a designer and illustrator specialising in sculptured clay murals.
Kerry Darlington now works independently from her studio at home in North Wales, using all of these influences and her flexibility to create pieces of art in a variety of subjects. She began with pen and ink, perfecting her drawing skills, then onto watercolours, and later, a variety of mediums, acrylic and oil, experimenting widely to produce original effects. Her acrylic paintings are uniquely formed upon board or canvas first, using textures and gesso. The colour is then built with several transparent layers to create depth. Her abstract pieces were initially based upon satellite photographs of Earth. This has since diversified to include contemporary landscapes and figure-work, all carrying her unique style. Her work has become increasingly sought after by collectors and in 2007 she was a finalist in the ‘Best Up-and-Coming Published Artist’s category in the Fine Art Trade Guild Awards.

This background, along with the blending of Art Nouveau, has helped to shape a unique outlook to Kerry's art prints and limited edition prints.Deep russets, golds and reds create truly stunning art works.
