Born in a coastal town of North Wales, Kerry's passion for art was inspired by a love of beautiful old picture books (Rackham, Dulac and Beardsley were favourites and later on, Pre-Raphaelite painting and Art Nouveau). After achieving a degree inilustration in 1996, Darlighton originally intented to lead into a career of book illustration.

Following University she worked in S. America before returning to the U.K. to work as a designer and illustrator for an exclusive company, specializing in sculptured clay murals for private residences in the Middle East, United Arab Emirates and the U.S.A.

Kerry now works independently from her studio at home in North Wales, using all of these influences and her flexibility to create pieces of art in a variety of subjects.

In 2007, Kerry became a finalist in the 'Best Up-And-Coming Published Artist' category in the Fine Art Trade Guild Awards, and since then has become one of the best-selling artist in the UK.

After studying and perfecting her drawing skills in pen and ink then later into watercolours, Kerry soon diversed into acrylics and oil. Her arcylic paintings are first formed onto canvas or board unsing gesso and textures, and then with many transparent layers, the colour is built, creating depth.
