About the Artist

Born at Corbridge in Northumberland,  David Kerr has always lived in the North East of England and  in retirement has been able to convey the love of his native surroundings in original watercolour landscapes featuring many of the beautiful  places that make up the part of this world known as Northumbria.

 David was first introduced to watercolour when at school, but it was not until his retirement that he was able to devote time to the furtherance of his love of painting.  He has developed his own style of landscape painting and it was not long until his work was known in the locality.  

Through the medium of the internet, images of his paintings have been seen around the world and acclaimed by artists from all over the globe.

 His  website was launched in 2004, by which time a good selection of paintings had been created.   In the summer of 2007, he took the opportunity to have some of his watercolours featured on Bone China Mugs and Ceramic Coasters.  You can see the results of this by selecting "China & Ceramics" from the options on the left. 

 His work is in demand here in the North East as well as in other parts of the UK - abroad, he has paintings in the USA and Canada and his china and ceramics quickly found favour in the USA , Ireland, South Africa, Australia and even as far away as the Falkland Islands.  David's cards and miniature prints are also proving very popular. 

David is currently Chairman of the Coquetdale Arts Centre.
