Janette Kerr is a painter deeply embedded in place, working at the interface between land, sea and historical experience. Beyond mere topography, but with a nod towards the Northern Romantic tradition in landscape painting, her practice is contemporary and experimental. Based in Shetland, she has a studio close to the sea. "My paintings represent immediate responses to the movement and the rhythms of the sea and wind; swelling and breaking waves, the merging of spray with air, advancing rain and mist, glancing sunlight - elements that are about something intangible". Kerr has a PhD in Fine Art, she is an Hon Royal Scottish Academician, RWA Academician, and Past President of the Royal West of England Academy of Art. Exhibiting regularly across the UK and abroad, her work is held in national and international collections.
