Kerrie Leishman was born in Creswick, Victoria, Australia. She received a Scholarship and studied Fine Art at the Ballarat College of Advanced Education. In 1987 she was employed as an artist for the Sydney Morning Herald and still holds that position working from her home in Kangaroo Valley N.S.W. Inspired by the surrounding land and the misty river she crosses daily, Leishman’s paintings convey the mystery and movement of the open space.

Kerrie has been successfully exhibiting her dramatic and emotive oil paintings at Flinders Lane Gallery since 1993. Her woks entice us to experience a journey of impending threat, promise, and rebirth.
