Kerry’s deep love of the Australian bush is strongly evident and is the binding thread of her designs, images and teachings. Her last career was as a photographer and videographer, documenting and telling personal stories. Now, into the second half of her life, Kerry is setting out to tell different stories - stories of Australian landscapes and the birds, flora and wildlife that inhabit them.

Kerry’s style is described as sophisticated and eclectic, and her designs rich with organic, hand-drawn motifs and hues reflecting the natural, warm, muted tones of the Australian bush. Often, she will add a contemporary and unique twist, reflective of her intuitive and fluid approach to creativity and life.

The words of Australian artist, botanical illustrator and conservationist, Kathleen McArthur, best sum up how Kerry feels about the Australian bush, and what she hopes to engender in others.

“Because our flowers have never settled into our consciousness they are not seen. People can drive through square miles of colourful, massed displays of bloom and simply not see it. It is only when the mind opens that the flowers bloom.
It follows that if the flowers cannot be seen, they do not exist in the minds, so there can be no thought in those minds of protecting and preserving them for posterity.”

Kerry hopes that through her work and education that you will come to feel the same connection with Australian nature as she does, and come to appreciate and feel the call to protect and preserve our wild, uniquely beautiful and sacred places too.
