Kerry in the ricefields, 2007
 

   A trip to Bali changed her fate, when she
   met her Indonesian artist husband, Pranoto.
   She moved to Ubud, Bali in 1993 and has
   two children.

   It has been during her time in Ubud that she
   developed as an artist herself. She began to
   attend and organize model sessions, draws
   and paints models twice a week.
   The models and artists attending these
   sessions come from all over the world.
   Ubud has been a connecting
   place for artists for many years and the sense
   of community and support amongst artists
   (both Indonesian and from overseas) is
   always apparent and enhanced through the
   model sessions.
   This also creates an inspiring environment
   for Kerry as an artist, as well as managing
   Pranoto' s Gallery with her husband,
   where they have hosted many exhibitions.

   Kerry had her first exhibition at Seniwati
   Gallery (Art by Women) in 1998. She
   showed  her assured line drawings and bright
   acrylic paintings.
   All the pieces were completed in the model
   sessions.
   She has since had several solo exhibitions
   in Indonesia and Australia, as well as many
   group shows. She has also developed a love
   for drawing in pastels, completing pieces
   outside in nature, beginning with a holiday
   to Lombok in 2001.

   Kerry enjoys the experience of sitting in front
   of a scene, capturing the light and feeling an
   interaction that is immediate and fresh in her
   work.
   The medium of soft pastel on sandpaper
   creates a luxurious texture and enhances the
   colours of the pastels. The other aspect of
   her work continues in the model sessions,
   where she uses watercolour on paper.
   She explores the richness of colour,
   transparency and the interaction of pigments.
   Her work reflects her love of life in Bali-the
   lushness of the countryside, and the delicate
   patterns and textiles of Indonesia that
   continue to fascinate her as an artist.
