Artist Background

Australian artist Kerry Holland, is based in Brisbane. Her art works include contemporary symbolic abstract paintings and portraits.
In her paintings Kerry makes use of painted crochet lace pattern, texture and colour drawn from everyday life and imagination. Crochet lace, a craft both beautiful and commonplace, made usually by women for decoration or gift, has enormous potential for symbolic reference and Kerry explores this in her art.
Her work informed by her Christian spirituality is greatly influenced by Ignatian spirituality, sacred and liturgical music and an Anglican heritage. Contributing to contemporary Australian religious art it has a voice that springs from the feminine story and experience of God.

The series of 11 paintings called Requiem/from death through to new life is now in the collection of St Ignatius College Riverview, Sydney, NSW.

It was exhibited in Brisbane St John's Cathedral, Ann St Brisbane in December 2007 and opened by David Busch (ABC Radio National, religious programs). The series was first shown in Melbourne at the ACU Gallery June, 2007 and also jointly at Trinity College Melbourne University and Campion Centre for Ignatian Spirituality. Rosemary Crumlin rsm OAM opened this exhibition .

A small book with quality images of the paintings and reflections by the artist is available for sale. See contact page
