Artist Profile
Kerry Bruce is an abstract, expressionist artist with her studio located in Kiama on the South Coast of NSW. Kerry uses masses of lush paint and beautiful bold pigments to create the vibrant florals and blooms that appear to burst from the canvas.
Kerry Bruce is an established artist living on the pristine South Coast of NSW. Inspiration and beauty surround her seaside, light filled studio in Kiama with, of course, an abundance of blooms ready and waiting to be painted.
An award-winning artist, Kerry has exhibited in London, America and Australia.
Kerry’s signature style involves bold pigment, sensuous application of paint and an all-pervasive sense of joy – such is the power of a bouquet of blooms. Each artwork is a unique creation, driven from an intuitive practice that spontaneously evolves from one mark to the next.
Kerry is bold in her approach, colour is intensified and texture is accentuated.
With over two decades as a full-time artist, Kerry’s subjects have included the human figure and animals. However, it is to flowers that she repeatedly returns. Kerry enjoys the journey of working with the still life and loves that every time she paints that vase of flowers, they are uniquely and beautifully different.
Artist Interview
What medium do you work with, and why have you chosen them?
I enjoy painting in oils and acrylics – I choose lush paint to really capture those brush marks, building layer upon layer of paint.
How does your artwork get from initial concept to exhibition stage?
Always working from a still life or a image I have captured. building up layers from soft fluid acrylics to the finish of bold lush painterly blooms or kookaburras.
Can you tell us a little more about your creative working environment/studio?
Kiama is my base and I have a big studio with skylights – purposely built for me to create. I also have a showroom for my collectors to view the finished pieces. Hosting Art Retreats is another passion I love to share with other creatives.
