Kerryn Amery is a printmaker and drawer whose work focuses on the flowers and wildlife in her garden, local bushland and the Winton Wetlands.

Thirteen or so years ago, Kerryn enrolled in an introductory printmaking course at the Australian Print Workshop in Fitzroy. It was a revelation. Kerryn still remembers the thrill of her first print.

Drawing is key to Kerryn’s practice. She fills her pocket-sized sketchbooks with drawings of everyday things and her travels. Many of these drawings are then translated into ideas for possible prints.

Kerryn creates her prints using wood, lino, acetate or copper. She utilises a range of media for her drawings including pen, pencil, charcoal and watercolours.

Kerryn studied drawing and painting at Riverina TAFE and has completed a number of printmaking and art workshops in Victoria and Greece.

Kerryn is a member of the Creators Artspace in Wodonga and a volunteer at the Benalla Art Gallery.
