Kera Bruton
Kera is an emerging artist based in the Illawarra. Her approach to her artwork sees her producing works that are a modern take of the more traditional still life genre. Experimentation and fun with colour and texture is Kera’s main focus whilst creating. Her approach honours the dynamic and unusual nature of Australian flora with the hope that the viewer can also take fun and joy from her unique perspective.
Kera is an Illawarra based artist living and working surrounded by the bush she loves at the foothills of the Wollongong escarpment.
Art has always been a major influence in Kera’s life having previously worked as a special effects makeup artist, milliner and children's book illustrator.
Kera’s current artistic practice has seen her focus on subjects from nature (in particular native florals) using colour and texture to celebrate their natural beauty.
Currently Kera works out of her open studio at The Timber Mill in Bulli. She is actively involved in multiple exhibitions throughout the year at local Illawarra venues as well as participating in The Other Art Fair, Barangaroo in December 2022, May 2023 and October 2023. Recently Kera was awarded the ‘Handlers Award’ at Thirroul Seaside Art Festival and also a finalist in the Toowoomba Galleries ‘ Next Big Thing’ Art Award.
