Lin Kerr

Lin Kerr’s background is deeply rooted in fine arts, with a BA fine Art degree in painting. She studied at Wits University in Johannesburg and after many years in graphic design and teaching she returned to her first love of painting in oils and watercolour.

Always experimenting with new techniques and media, Lin is currently working towards a collection of large work, involving installation as well as oils.  She has recently turned her hand to porcelain too, and is enjoying getting to know the medium, often incorporating her experience in calligraphy.

Lin has also begun creating jewellery in silver and beadwork. She says: ‘When I was a child, I loved watching the Zulu women in Durban create their beadwork, and I always wanted to have a go. Thanks to online videos and beautiful glass beads, I’ve begun to weave the dream.’

Lin works and teaches from her studio in Chilton, Oxfordshire. She also has a drop-in sketchbook workshop in winter.
