The Idea
Margo Rubin’s printmaking course in 2003 was when this work began. Margo encouraged Kerrie-Ann to combine paint with photography in a unique way. With background in graphic design she developed a process combining the precision of digital images with the "felt sense" of traditional artwork.
The Inspiration
An active lifestyle outdoors is what Kerrie-Ann aspires to. The imagery of her art reflects the activities that she loves most (skiing, sailing & swimming).
When her husband began marathons and triathlon, they did a sprint tri together. That year she created a painting for her husband and his triathlete buddies began ordering commissions for themselves.
The Process
This work starts with photography that is digitally manipulated to create a transparent silhouette. Next, a watercolor painting is developed and the two images are blended together in a unique way.
The Artist
Kerrie-Ann is married to Andrew who hails from Cornwall, England. Together they share adventures and explorations while juggling their careers. The images below are shared to provide a snapshot with her friends and family enjoying the good times and creating fun memories.
“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. ”
