KERRY BEAZLEIGH

2023

Recipient

Kerry, a Brisbane Outsider Artist (BOA), received funds for the integration of a digital projector, enhancing accuracy and efficiency for her realism oil painting projects. Kerry transfers designs from various references onto the canvas and experiments with sizes. This advancement saves time, conserves energy, and boosts productivity, enabling Kerry to create more artwork, meet exhibition deadlines, and conduct smaller-scale colour studies. The projector’s portability facilitates artistry in any studio setting, empowering Kerry to reach new artistic heights.

“As a realist oil painter, using reference photos is an important part of the process.  Whilst I can and sometimes do freehand draw my layout onto the canvas, this projector will save me hours of work and help overcome some of the physical limitations of my health issues.”
