"I
enjoy the spontaneity and the expressionistic process involved in creating
abstract images and the freedom to experiment with color and various
mediums. My influences
are Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Demuth, Helen Frankenthaler, Wassily
Kandinsky, and Emily Carr."

Kerry has also donated
her work for various charity auctions over the years such as the Ottawa
Humane Society, Laugh for Life, Funds to End Breast Cancer, Voices for
Hospices Singing Event, and Canadian Red Cross RespectED.
"I paint both landscape and botanical
themes alternating between abstract and representational images. My work
is inspired by nature’s endless arrangements of line, color and form. I
also enjoy exploring different ways of portraying landscapes through
creative compositions and color combinations. The prairie landscapes,
the mountain valley, and the colorful southwest landscape in
New Mexico are some of the locations that have inspired my series of
simplified, colorful and flowing compositions. "
Thank you for visiting and I hope
you enjoyed the online gallery!
