painter, illustrator and cartoonist, was born in Creswick, Victoria. She received a Commonwealth Scholarship to study Fine Arts at the Ballarat College of Advanced Education in 1975-78. In 1979-83 she lived and worked in London and in 1985 worked as an artist for a year in Japan and Europe. She has been providing occasional cartoons and illustrations for the Sydney Morning Herald and other Fairfax publications since 1986. 23 drawings and 20 photographs of related work 1987-99 were presented to the SNLNSW under the Cultural Gifts Program in February 2000 (ML PXE 844: detailed on PICMAN list in file). A member of the ABWAC, she was living at Leichhardt, Sydney, in 1994. She is a friend of Amanda Upton ; they both also paint and sometimes do rather similar work.
In 1981 Kerrie exhibited her paintings at Neil Street Gallery, London. Since 1982 she has participated in many group exhibitions around Australia. By the 1990s she had held over ten solo exhibitions in Sydney and Melbourne. In 1994-95 she travelled in Europe and Indonesia, returning to be artist in residence at Bundanon, NSW, in 1995. Her dealer gallery in 2000 was BMGART. Her 2000-02 paintings look a bit like misty Caroline Williams, e.g. landscape included in Vanessa Wood’s Women Artists’ show in March 2002.
