Artists

Janette Kerr is a landscape painter of national renown who exhibits widely throughout the UK.  She has been a member of the Royal West of England Academy since 2003.

In 1999 she was awarded The David Murray Studentship for Landscape Studies by the Royal Academy Schools.  She has also worked as a resident artist in the UK and Italy and regularly undertakes residencies and exhibits in Ireland and the Western Isles, Scotland.

In 2004 Janette completed a practice-based PhD concerning the depiction of night landscape. Whilst led by her practice, (the original impetus stemming from her practice of walking and making drawings at night), the theoretical research had a significant impact upon her painting. The recognition of an inherited visual language has both informed and helped to define the work, placing her ‘within a process of tradition in which past and present are constantly fused'.

Janette's work is exhibited at galleries throughout the UK and is held in a number of private collections.  In March 2008 she curated an exhibition at the RWA - ‘Night - a time between' - featuring work by a number of notable nationally known artists, as well as her own.
