Kerry Pendergrast
Profile

Works 1  

Born 1963, Perth, Western Australia. Her background is in Literature, Theater Arts and music (she is an experienced singer in many styles-now a member of the Ubud-based group Planet Bamboo-www.bali3000.com/planetbamboo).

She first came to Bali in 1992 and was referred to by her artist brother to look up his friend Pranoto who liked to "drink coffee and talk". She did indeed look up his friend -- they married in 1993 and have two children.  She began to draw models in 1993 and found a new passion in her life. She had her first one woman exhibition in 1998 of her work in acrylic. She then changed to watercolour and had an exhibition in Perth, Western Australia in April 2000, including her line drawings. Currently she is working in soft pastel and will exhibit her outdoor work in October 2001 at Seniwati Gallery. Kerry's line drawing shows her self assurance. Simple lines speak her true eyes, capturing the beauty they saw.

Her painting describes her exploration of her joy to play using an intricate line or colour. Sometimes a simple idea combined with a strong design of shape division and colour scheme limitation. It produces a distinctive, pleasant harmony into each of her creations. She is a happy, singing soul with a gifted artists eyes and hands.
