DENPASAR (indo.com): Australian painter Kerry Pendergrast is currently displaying her works in pastel at the Seniwati Gallery in Ubud, Bali. The exhibition with theme 'Views and Gardens' will run through October 31, 2001.

The exhibition marks a news direction for Kerry Pendergrast in which she diverts usual figurative works to outdoor scenes. Most of her works are created in Bali, Lombok and Australia. The works display sceneries in those places.

These vibrant pastel pieces feature delicate and colored line that unifies the composition and reflects the freshness of creating on the spot. The focus is on the intricate details and the intimacy of the near to middle distance, a sense of human proportions, while reflecting glorious, tropical lushness.

Kerry Pendergrast has lived in Bali for around 8 years. He is married to an Indonesian and has two children. She organizes model sessions and jointly runs Pranoto's Art Gallery with her husband. She has also been active in the Seniwati Gallery. Born in Perth, Australia in 1963, Kerry studied theater arts and literature at University. She also pursued a career in music that she keeps continuing in Bali. She displayed her works, an acrylic and line drawing in 1998.
