A storyteller at heart, Kerry Louise Bennett is a self-taught expressive painter with a passion for colour, texture and pattern. Informed by the real-life objects around her she paints imaginary semi-abstract interiors and still life compositions, occasionally incorporating figures. 

“I am obsessed with colour first and foremost – it’s impact is so visceral - but mark making is also important, usually expressed through pattern and the shapes of ‘things’ often scratched into the surface of the paint, with textures then built up over many layers. My visual vocabulary draws on the ordinary stuff of life – chairs, plants, vessels… I try to use these familiar motifs to capture a kind of narrative that is equal measures of the mundane and the magical.” - Kerry Louise Bennett, 2022
