Welcome

Claire Kerr

I am a self-taught artist who enjoys bringing urban landscapes to life through my distinctive line and wash technique.

Inspired by the character and essence of buildings, city scenes and architectural details, I capture the urban environment in ink and watercolour.

I love drawing with fountain pens and often sketch and paint on location, following the principles of the global Urban Sketchers (USk) movement.

My more considered pieces are created in the comfort of the studio. Here I can apply greater precision than fluidity, producing artwork that offers a lasting memory of a special place.

What’s on

Coming up in the middle of 2025, I’ll be taking part in Art in June. This is a series of open studios events for artists in the Kent and Surrey borders. I don’t have my own studio so have joined up with other artists and who will be exhibiting at St John’s Church in Hurst Green, Oxted, Surrey.

I thoroughly enjoyed the free silk painting workshop today at @sevenoakskaleidoscope as part of @artinjunekent Thanks very much @nadeemqureshi27 and @helebella_cakes 

Here's Nadeem demonstrating - and then my effort (it doesn't quite behave like watercolour, but almost).

It's not long now until our exhibition with the @artinjuneatstj group - and look out for more information about our private view soon, too.

I really enjoyed seeing the incredibly diverse range of excellent @artinjunekent artwork on display at the @sevenoakskaleidoscope gallery tonight at the private view. 

Of course, I had to get a selfie with my own one!

That's my painting safely delivered to the @sevenoakskaleidoscope gallery for the Dialogues and Connections exhibition from 21st to 31st May. Do pop along if you're nearby. 

And I'll see you at the private view tomorrow night,  6 to 8pm, if you're going. There are 40 odd artists represented, including my fellow @artinjuneatstj artists, @helebella_cakes and @barbaraforrest693
Another one for @artinjunekent with the @artinjuneatstj collective. I did this painting of the Tower of London from a photo I took across the Thames.
