Kerry Darlington

Kerry Darlington was born in 1974 in Rhyl, North Wales.
She was inspired by magical fairy tale picture books and stories during her childhood, and held a particular fascination for Arthur Rackham's intricate pen and ink work. This influenced her to take a degree in Illustration, with intentions of becoming a children's book Illustrator. During this period she discovered the Pre-Raphaelite artists and Art Nouveau. She found this work so hauntingly beautiful that it captivated her completely and it still has a profound effect on her own art.
Kerry Darlington has worked as a designer and illustrator for private residences in the Middle East, United Arab Emirates and the USA, but now works independently from her studio in North Wales creating pieces of art in a wide variety of subjects.
Kerry Darlington original paintings have won numerous awards both in her home country of Wales along with a recent finalist place in the best selling published artist category by the Fine Art Trade Guild.
