Artist Kerry Rowland-Avrech was raised in the coastal areas of Venice and Santa Monica, California. In the late sixties and early seventies, the creative figures of the area varied from artists, muralists, surf culture, and poets, to the entities of the Hollywood music and film industry. Such an environment has given her a truly imaginative and unique perspective in the arts. As an eminent contemporary female painter in California, Rowland-Avrech’s work shows a vast depth of understanding of American Culture and Art. Her mural works are throughout the state, from Beverly Hills to San Jose, California. This is an artist that isn’t afraid to work large. Rowland-Avrech’s work has been exhibited at the Palm Springs Modernism Show, the Art in the 21st Century Exhibition, The Affordable Art Fair, NY, Barrett Art Center, Poughkeepsie, NY, and several of the California Landscape Exhibitions. Her works are in the collections of the Triton Museum, Santa Clara, California and private collectors from New York, Washington, D.C., Palm Springs, San Francisco and the United Kingdom.
