About Kerry Hallam: Born 1937 Kerry Hallam is as refreshing and spirited as his paintings. He creates enticing images through bold palettes and captivating compositions. Born in Northern England, Hallam showed early artistic talent when he won a six-year scholarship to London University's Central College of Art. After a formal art education under British master painters, he completed his military service in the prestigious Gurkha brigade. Hallam's talent was further acknowledged when he was selected for inclusion in Britain's Royal Society of Artists in Watercolor. Enthusiasm for his art is fully evident in Kerry Hallam’s vivid, windswept seascapes and timeless, sun-dappled village scenes. Strongly inspired by the Fauves, Hallam has a strong affinity for the 19th century French Post-Impressionists, Cezanne and Van Gogh.
In 1973 Kerry moved state-side, settled in New England, and completely dedicated himself to painting. He later established his first studio in Boston, and in 1981 opened a studio and gallery on Nantucket Island. Since then, he has lived and painted in many parts of the United States, most recently settling comfortably again into New England life.
Internationally-acclaimed Impressionist Kerry Hallam’s lifetime of travels have continually called him to the sea. His mixed media works on actual nautical charts are extensively collected, not only by sailing enthusiasts, but by those who wish to set off on a voyage of discovery. A Hallam nautical chart is a unique addition to any art collection, a great conversation piece, a memory from a favorite vacation and perhaps a fantastic reminder of that one magical moment in our lives when we lived without restraint. Hallam comments on his passion as saying “I love the challenge of trying to marry the free spirit within me and the chart’s unyielding truth.” Hallam meets that challenge head on, and the resulting work of art is a truly unique visual delight that eloquently captures his zeal for exploration and discovery.
Through innumerable one-man exhibitions, Kerry Hallam has been honored by galleries around the world. His work has been featured in countless newspaper and magazine articles as well as in PBS television specials.
