KERRY HALLAM

Kerry Hallam was born and raised in the northern England industrial town of Chesterfield. He showed early artistic talent and won a six-year college scholarship to London University. After living in the south of France for a number of years, he moved to the United States and settled in New England in 1973. He established his first studio in Boston and in 1981 opened a studio on Nantucket Island.

Hallam's canvases explode with color, his venues seem drenched in idyllic beauty. He is most noted for his power to evoke emotion, opulence of light and distinctive color harmonies. Inspired by St. Tropez and the French and Italian Riviera, Hallam returns frequently to renew his spirit.

Hallam finds nautical charts fascinating. His interest in the sea and sailing led to his incorporation of painting and mixed media. Street maps, nautical charts and newsprint have been used to add flavor and authenticity to his work. He continues to explore the realm of collage and its endless possibilities.
