Description

Acrylic Paint on Wood, ready to hang.
In this image Kerry was particularly taken with the way that the model looks suspended in time, as if pausing, and extraordinarily holding a bubble that is slowly diminishing by releasing smaller bubbles through the water. It lead Kerry to think of Emily Dickinson's poem “I took my Power in my hand” - a poem about taking on both David and Goliath, but failing. It reminded her that at times in life we give something everything we’ve got but sometimes it’s just not enough. She wanted to capture both her strength and her vulnerability using bright contrasting colours of teal and a beautiful red magenta. Kerry has developed her style using contemporary art techniques such as expressionism and pop art. She loves to give the surface of the painting lots of texture and shine, creating a sense of movement.

Concept

I’m interested in strong beautiful resilient women. These strong beautiful resilient women can be seen in my current body of work - standing in, emerging from, or swimming through, water. For me the most amazing thing about being underwater is that the rest of the world disappears for a while. There are no distractions or stress - just quietness.
The light is filtered and flickering, and beautiful reflections are created. The whole scene is blanketed in this cool, flowing, bubbly sensation. My models hair and clothing move with the water while they are suspended in the water - floating in a nurturing, freeing, and healing space. I like to give my viewers a sense of a magical but uplifted world.
On my personal journey this is a place where I want to be.

FAQ
Does this art work need a frame?

In many cases, art works with a canvas stretched over a wooden frame can be displayed as is. Thin art works other than canvases are easier to frame. For any questions or concerns please chat us.

What kind of hardware should I use for hanging the artwork?

If you are concerned about repayment costs, such as when renting a house, wall pins and hooks that do not leave noticeable hole marks are available at major DIY Store and art supply stores.

If you want to hang a canvas with a hook, a hook type with a long hooking surface, such as a V-shaped type is recommended.

If there is a string on the back of the canvas or the back of the frame, you can hang it with a pin type that has a short hooking surface.
