Horizons Guest Speaker: Kerri Weymouth

Introducing our next speaker for the Horizons Guest Speaker Series, Kerri Weymouth!

Join Horizons for an artist talk and virtual studio tour with visual artist Kerri Weymouth. In conversation with Emma Johnston, hear about Kerri’s creative practice, career, and the experience of establishing a creative studio and gallery in the regional NSW town of Coleambally.

Kerri is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist and qualified art therapist who holds a Master’s in Therapeutic Arts Practice. She is inspired by her connection to the Australian Bush and regional communities.

Kerri’s work spans many mediums such as textiles, printing, acrylics, sculptural work with found objects and eco-dyed works with a strong sense of place. Kerri has her artwork displayed in many private and corporate collections, nationally and abroad. Her chosen medium depends on the ideas she is exploring at the time, because of her love to experiment she often favours mixed media.

Early inspiration comes from creative family members including years spent in the 1980’s fashion world of haute couture, working from the fashion house of John Claringbold and Ross Weymouth in Melbourne’s famous Nicholas Building in Swanston Street. Which is renowned as a unique creative hub for creative industries.

Event Details: 12pm - 1pm Monday July 8th 2024
