KERRY-LEIGH TAYLOR

“Rooted in nature,refined by expression”

Kerry is an artist shaped by the rhythms and landscapes of the East African coast, having lived from the southern tip of the Cape to the shadows of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Her deep connection to nature and the oceans is the soul of her work, guiding both inspiration and medium. She is drawn to the raw beauty and story telling potential of natural materials — wood, clay, feathers and other organic fibres.

Each piece Kerry creates is a quiet dialogue between earth and spirit, a reflection of the wild, textured environments that continue to nurture and inform her creative journey.
