Kerry Royle is a Canadian Visual Artist. She was born in rural Ontario, before moving to Toronto in 2000 where she completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree at York University.  After graduating, Kerry travelled throughout Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador, before moving to the United Kingdom in 2008. She lived in Manchester and London for several years before recently moving back to her home in Canada. She has exhibited in Toronto and London galleries and is an alumni artist of Debut Contemporary in Notting Hill, London.

Kerry's artistic practice reflects her own life, finding inspiration from the places she have travelled and lived. Through her work she visually studies and explores these locations, weaving together historical facts and personal narratives to create emotional intricate scenes and stories. Growing up surrounded by wilderness ignited a love for the environment that has broadened into the production of an array of cultural and nature themed works.  While older collections emphasised nature, landscapes and their living organisms, her current series explores urban scenes, architecture, light, line and space. Her paintings are flooded with colour and intricate details using many layers of paint, pencil and black ink. They combine strong lines and graphic elements with natural forms and patterns which creates an organic quality throughout her practice.
