About Kerry Rushton

Kerry Rushton has a menagerie of talents. From professional artist to passionate ‘beginner’s Instructor’. Kerry had a 10-year career painting on film and theatre sets before running art classes and establishing an art gallery. She was recently the Artist in Residence at the Monet in Paris Experience and taught hundreds of people how to ‘paint like Monet’. She is predominately self-taught with skills in illustration, murals, and abstract expressionism. Kerry loves to create luscious layers and then strip them away to reveal the history within. Her work is spontaneous and explores rich, deep colours and neutrals. “I start with chaos and then sensitively discover the story within”. Kerry strives to inspire the students to rediscover their inner child's curiosity. Observe, connect with and embody the confidence that naturally seeps into other areas of life through painting and creating.
