Kerry Hallam's "Afternoon Reverie" is a testament to the "inner sensations" that can be conveyed from artist to canvas to viewer. Hallam has the ability to reach inside and share a moment of complete and utter pleasure through his artwork.
"Afternoon Reverie" leads us to a cove of activity. Yachts play in the gentle waters, sunbathers dot the sandy beach, and feathery grass with vivid blooms accent the windswept dunes. In the distance, the lighthouse guides the boats to the bustling town just beyond the jetty. Sailboats drift just outside of town where perhaps the land lovers will dock and venture with sandy feet to discover the quaint little shops and cafes. Pleasure and relaxation are clearly the priority.
Hallam crafts a landscape that is carefree and brilliantly sun-lit. The sunshine radiates heat as the softness of the sand sifts between your toes and gentle waves lap at your ankles. "Afternoon Reverie" shares with us Hallam's enthusiastic and distinctive ability to convey his celebration of life that all can enjoy!

About the Artist
An artist with a bold palette and a voracious appetite for life, Kerry Hallam is as refreshing and spirited as his paintings. The story of how he traveled from a daydreaming young artist from the north of England to a world-renowned expressionist visionary artist, living and painting in the continental US is one of great passion and perseverance. Hallam showed early artistic talent when he won a six-year scholarship to London University’s Central College of Art. After a formal art education under British master painters Leslie Cole, Patrick Heron, and Hans Tisdale, he completed his military service in the prestigious Gurkha brigade in Hong Kong and Malaya. Hallam’s talent was further acknowledged when he was selected for inclusion in Britain’s Royal Society of Artists in Watercolor. As a young artist searching for his own truth, Hallam immersed himself in the energy and passion of Southern France. The cradle of French Impressionism, with a legendary landscape, has given birth to many master artists through the ages. Acting upon this influence, Hallam says, “My ambition was to make definitive statements. Using van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse, and Dufy as departure points, I would…build on their feelings, dance to their music”.
