A word from Kerry Lemon
In 1999 I left home to study art, and four years later I graduated from Reading University with a First Class degree in Fine Art. I was awarded a Queen Elizabeth Scholarship to study Children’s Book Illustration and I completed my studies in 2008.
I currently live in Surrey with my lovely boyfriend Steve and two very naughty cats Champ and Chief. Unfortunately the cats favourite pastime is stealing and then eating my pens and brushes, and so much of my time is spent devising new hiding places for my equipment. When not rescuing my stuff, I am drawing highly detailed works in sketchbooks, often on location, and then scanning and colouring them digitally.
I love to draw, particularly the natural world, architecture, food and objects, and my passion for pattern and repetition is evident in the scales of a lizard, texture of a biscuit or tiles upon a roof. The chance to capture the way I see the world using only paper and a pen offers endless subject, challenge and appeal.
