Guest Artist: Kerry Dunning

‘I love to create, design, draw, scrawl and doodle, which lends itself nicely to a visual representation of the world around me. My work is a constantly evolving process.
Observational drawing is key to all the work I create. I make a daily habit of sketching the world around me, practising looking and observing the small details. I then get very experimental trying to create colourful, bold and playful pieces.

After managing the children’s department in a bookshop I re-trained as a graphic designer with the award winning ninefootone.co.uk, focusing on print. Following that excellent training I have developed my own style of digitally illustration using detailed layered illustrations to mimic the depth in tone of colours in nature.

More recently, as a student at The Royal Drawing School, I have moved away from digital work entirely. I have concentrated on developing and broadening my practise. MY current practise focuses on florals and faces using ink, pencil, charcoal, paint and print. Living in the Lakes, the Peaks and now by the coast I am inspired by the shifting and vibrant shades in the sky and water.’

Kerry’s work is currently on display and to purchase at the Williamson.
