Artist information
Kerry is married to Andrew who is a wildlife artist and they exhibit together at their home studio in Witney. They have two grown-up sons and one grandson and enjoy travelling to explore different parts of the country in their campervan. Working in textiles since her teens, Kerry's first degree in fashion was followed by a City & Guilds qualification in embroidery and most recently by an MA in fine arts (textiles). Currently Kerry volunteers with English Heritage at North Leigh Roman Villa, leads Ramblers walks with her local group and continues to teach textile classes and workshops.
Exhibition information
Kerry's inspiration comes from the natural world and the history encountered during her rambles in the countryside. Experiencing the environment on foot as our ancestors did and understanding how the landscape has been affected by man throughout the ages is an enduring source of fascination for her. Using mostly natural fabrics and colouring them by hand painting, printing or natural dyeing, Kerry develops hand and machine stitched pieces ranging from textile jewellery to quilted hangings and furnishings.
