Kerry Darlington

Kerry Darlington is one of the most sought after and influential artists at work in the UK and a major figure on the international art scene.

Kerry Darlinaton was born in 1974 in Rhvl. North Wales

She was inspired by magical fairy tale picture books, pop-up books and stories during her childhood, and held a particular fascination for Arthur Rackham's intricate pen and ink work. This influenced her to take a degree in lllustration, with intentions of becoming a children's book Ilustrator. During this period she discovered the Pre-Raphaelite artists and Art Nouveau.
In the following years Kerry began to work on developing original, decorative designs using 3D elements and resin, focusing primarily on trees and nature. Inspiration for these was taken from the Art Nouveau period, particulary Klimt's infamous 'Tree of Life'. Today she continues to paint themes of myth and legend, poetry and stories
