Meet the
Retro Cats
of
Kerry Beary
|
"Triple Trouble"
Kerry Beary developed a love
of retro art in childhood as the daughter of a professional hair and
make-up artist in the late 1950's. Her portfolio reflects a unique talent
for painting in the colors, imagery, and styles of the period
(taken
from
CBH
Licensing).
"Long Cat Lounge"
Kerry's works revisit life as
I remember it in the 50's, 60's and 70's ...the colors, the lamps, the
clocks, the furniture, mini skirts, bell bottoms (the first time around)
and boots - all of which are resurfacing wonderfully in today's world of
decor and fashion! I absolutely love her refreshing paintings - hope
you do too... Bari
"The Bubble Chair"

Kerry's Cat Paintings here (with Kerry's permission) Her

Kerry Beary
Kerry writes..."My
inspiration comes from a myriad of things. I collect mid-century, Danish modern,
50's and 60's art, furniture, accessories, and fabrics. My husband and I
purchased a modern home in sub-tropical Louisiana, built in 1953, and have been
filling it with all things retro, vintage, Tiki, and fabulous! My paintings
contain elements from my home, especially the lamps, patterns, and furnishings"
"My models are
a blast from the past: photographs of my mother, who was a 50's and 60's fashion
hair and makeup diva, advertisements, and of course the glamour of Hollywood and
all those wonderful television shows! Leave it to Beaver, I Love Lucy,
Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie and so on. The clothes, the hair, the accessories,
the decor; these old things are new again and here to stay. We have been
collecting and acquiring these items for many years from many places: New York
City, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Southern California, and right here in the Deep
South!"
