Kerry Smith

“Painting is Patience”

"Menteg, a Mongolian herder has stated that “Life is simple. That is its secret.”

Like Menteg’s view of life, I approach my art simply. My art strives to combine and balance color and texture."

Kerry

The majority of Kerry’s work is done in the style he calls “Peaked Paint”. Using a palette knife he carefully places dollops of oil paint, one at a time onto canvas or board. This technique allows him to create highly textured, colorful works of art.

In his first juried competition, Kerry received a second place award for “Untitled #33”. His work has been on display at a variety of locations including:
