Kerry Slack is a watercolour illustrator, working out of her studio at Harrow Arts Centre, Hatch End. She began painting 7 years ago and was initially inspired to paint dancers by watching her daughter dance. She loved feeling the freedom and energy that dance creates and her style uniquely captures the artistic spirit of a dancer’s movement.

For those interested in learning her painting style, Kerry runs workshops throughout the year. Kerry believes that everyone can paint; it’s not some magical superpower only gifted to the chosen few. Watercolour can be very therapeutic and a path to mindfulness.

“The Dreamer’s Artist” is a window into Kerry’s studio practice, showcasing her illustration collaborations. The first is an Oracle Card collaboration with Cirque du Soleil ballerina T.J.Milne. The second, a partnership with a Sicilian Deli, where she created unique product packaging inspired by Sicily’s rich tapestry of history, mythology, folktales and of course sunshine infused food.

Kerry is motivated by the beautiful quote, “Dance with your heart and your feet will follow” and she chooses to follow her heart in each brushstroke.
