Kerry Lemon

2007 QEST Scholar - Illustration
East Sussex

Artist Kerry used her QEST funding to complete an MA in Illustration at Anglia Ruskin University. Since then her work has been commissioned internationally for luxury brands and architects including Harvey Nichols, Swarovski, Sony Japan, Harrods and Credit Suisse.

Kerry is now best known for her monumental public sculpture, responding to local plant life, landscape and histories. Her practice is collaborative and research led, connecting her audiences with nature to examine their own role within the anthropocene. She is driven by scientific collaboration and is committed to a sustainable approach. Her active exhibition practice explores diverse materials from common roots: the examination and invention of native/invasive plant species to reflect climate change, migration, bio-ethics and the commonality of womxn and flora.

QEST changed my life and I wouldn’t have been able to achieve my dreams as an artist without it. I long to tell my eight year old self that I will create my living from art – I cannot believe my luck.
