I paint abstract landscapes. They are a response to the colours, shapes, and emotional impact of the landscape. I paint its beauty, power, but also its austere strength and harshness. In my paintings of New England, I am drawn to the contrast between the drama of the gorge country and the openness of the tablelands.
I work on canvas and paper, and use mixed media, oils, and acrylics depending on the logistics of where I am painting and the type of work I want to create. I paint en plein air and develop the work subsequently in the studio.
My work expresses the continuity of an ancient landscape, its weighty permanence, transcendent beauty, and our transience in this landscape.
Kerry Dunne, as quoted in UNE Life, Sept 2020
