XL Sized edition by Kerry Darlington

Kerry Darlington’s story is the familiar ‘she-left-her-job-as-an-Illustrator-at-Craig-Bragdey-Designs-and-started-selling-her-original-works-on-eBay-for-coppers-before-she-was-talent-spotted-by-a-traditional-art-gallery-who-in-turn-spiralled-her-fledgling-career-out-to-a-much-greater-audience-which-helped-her-to-develop-her-work-while-still-earning-money’ type tale. And boy, has she never looked back!

To the uninitiated Darlington is the tour de force of contemporary fine art in this country, regularly illustratively regaling her hordes of fans, art critics and seasoned collectors in equal measure with release after release of gloriously saturated and richly hued visual representations of magical, mythical and fantastical subject matter; inspired by childhood classics as well as the trees in her garden. Or those which Darlington encounters on her travels. To cut a long story short, ‘Lace Tree’ is the award-winning artisans very latest Spring 2015 limited edition, individually signed release; which as if so often the pictorial case, both hand embellished and glossed.
