Kerry Schroeder
Texas
Kerry Schroeder grew up in the American Midwest, where her time alone was often spent drawing and painting. Studying art history in college, Kerry was particularly drawn to Renaissance paintings, with their heroic composition, warm color palette, interrelationship of light and shadow, and juxtaposition of real and symbolic events.
Today, Kerry’s work reflects her fascination with and attraction to nature, where she discovers symbols and metaphors of human experiences such as emergence, growth, transformation, struggle, fragility and survival. Using acrylic on wood panel, Kerry presents isolated, representational forms as a way into the subject and the story of the painting.
