About Kerry Darlington
Kerry Darlington, hailing from the scenic Rhyl in North Wales, was immersed from birth in 1974 into a world suffused with the enchantment of fairy tales. Her childhood fascination with the fantasy realms depicted in storybooks, especially drawn to Arthur Rackham's detailed pen and ink creations, catalyzed her pursuit of a career in illustration, aspiring to imbue children's literature with her artistic charm.
Her discovery of the 'Art Nouveau' movement and the spellbinding masterpieces of the Pre-Raphaelite artists left an indelible impression that continues to resonate in her artwork. Over the past seven years, Darlington has cultivated a signature style, renowned for its originality and lush decorative motifs, often showcasing the serene beauty of arboreal scenes and natural landscapes.
Embracing a new chapter in her artistic journey, Darlington transitioned her narrative talents into visual splendors with the release of her book illustrations as Unique Edition prints. Pieces like 'Midnight Garden' quickly vanished from availability, and 'Mad Hatter Tea Party' drew such fervor that it swiftly escalated in value post-release. Anticipation now builds for her upcoming renditions of classics like 'Peter Pan' and 'The Magic Faraway Tree.'
In a recognition of her skill and popularity, May 2012 saw Kerry Darlington honored as the 'Best-Selling Published Artist' by the Fine Art Trade Guild, cementing her place in the contemporary art world.

Inspiration and Technique
Academic Pursuits and Artistic Evolution
Embracing her passion professionally, Darlington attended a degree program in Illustration with aspirations of becoming a childrenâs book illustrator. Her creative flair was further refined by the seductive pull of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood and the fluid lines of Art Nouveau. These styles resonated with her, leaving an indelible mark that would permeate through her work.
Innovative Artistic Techniques
Her approach to painting is both methodical and intuitive, beginning with a carefully primed wooden board that serves as the canvas for her vision. A symphony of acrylics, metallic shades, and multiple resin layers work in concert to build the illusion of depth and radiance. This signature technique of layering allows light to traverse through, creating an ethereal luminosity that traditional paint simply cannot emulate.
