Flora – Acrylic on Canvas – Kerry Beary – 2005
Strong women, sleek cats and mid-century modern home furnishings are all present in the art of New York native, now Louisiana-based, artist Kerry Beary. With its retro feel, Beary’s art is best described as being “mid-century lounge-scapes.”
Artist Kerry Beary
Beary, 36, lived and worked in New York until after 9/11 when she and her husband moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. There they purchased a 1950’s ranch home where she could build a studio and focus on her art. Since that time her work has gained national attention with her art pieces being in great demand throughout the country.
