Kerry L. Ross is a Canadian oil painter born in Zimbabwe in 1972. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Calgary in 1995. Her oil paintings explore, interrogate and examine the world around her. Using the human form as muse, Kerry seeks to understand/reveal the human spirit and make prominent that which is not. They seek to look at the individual experience and the precarious want for personal truth. In her more recent works, she has been exploring the complicated tapestry of her Southern African roots. They are a personal quest into the concept of 'finding home', imperfect identity and artistic resolution.

Kerry paints in a representational manner using thin glazes of oil on stretched canvas. The detail inherent in representational portraiture bring a sense of prominence to people we may have missed or grown indifferent to. In addition, Kerry often employs an off-kilter composition that is devoid of extraneous detail. These aesthetic choices further emphasize the feeling of isolation and marginalization experienced by her subjects.

Kerry’s award winning paintings can be found in private and public collections across Canada. In 2015 she was awarded 'People's Choice' at the Guelph Art on the Street. Her work is featured in the following publications: Incite 2, Color Passions: The Best in Mixed Media by Tonia Jenny and Talent Next Door - Kitchener Waterloo & Area Volume 2 by Craig Musselman. Her original paintings are on exhibit at solo shows and art festivals throughout Ontario.
