Resume

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 her own 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 student to rediscover their innate creativity. Observe, connect with and
embody the confidence that comes with learning to paint and make pictures.
