‘One Love’ : A Tribute to Bob Marley
This is the thirteenth painting of my 'Rock Gods' Series, where I pay homage to the male musicians whose enduring influence, even in death, resonates through their artistic talents, poignant lyrics, and captivating melodies.
Each brushstroke is a nostalgic tribute, capturing the essence of their contributions, shaping the musical landscape, and creating a visual narrative that transcends time.
Bob Marley wasn't just a musician, he was a force of nature and was instrumental in bringing reggae music into the global mainstream. His songs were not just catchy tunes, they were powerful vehicles for social and political commentary, addressing issues such as poverty, oppression, and inequality, giving a voice to the marginalized and inspiring listeners to stand up for their rights. Bob’s impact on the reggae movement was monumental.
In essence, Bob Marley's impact on the reggae movement cannot be overstated. He not only popularised the genre but also used it as a platform for social change, leaving behind a legacy that continues to resonate today.
One of my all-time favourite Bob Marley songs is ‘One Love’.
‘One Love’ is all about bringing people together, no matter where they come from or what they believe. It's a reminder that we're all in this together, and if we show a little love, the world can be a better place for everyone. This song rings true to my core.
Vale Bob
May you Rest In Peace, but your music and influence live on forever.

Kerry is an emerging, self-taught acrylic artist born and living all of her life in Perth, Western Australia, until her move to Darwin in the Northern Territory in January 2020.
She is inspired by nature, spirit, life, music and lyrics and just like her music tastes, her artistic style, techniques and themes are very eclectic.
Kerry's ‘inspired art from the heart’ covers a variety of themes which encapsulates her raw uniqueness and spiritual energy as she creates vibrant paintings of the beauty found in the details of her life.
Kerry has a love of painting and creating and wants to share this with others to help inspire, heal, motivate or whatever emotion her paintings evoke, allowing the viewer to experience their own connection with the artwork.
After years of searching for that one passion to ignite her soul and give her an outlet from her everyday life, Kerry discovered acrylic painting, and she has never looked back! She also realised from her own life experiences, that many other people have been, or are in a similar circumstances and don't know where to start to find theirs.
So, after 7 years of following this passion of creativity and exploring all that comes with it, (the good, the bad, the ugly and the amazing), and now living this daily within her art business, Kerry has created her very first ‘Pure Imagination’ Painting Funshop, so you too can FREE YOUR MIND and find your unique voice!
Kerry's Pure Imagination Painting Funshops are designed to get the participants to * Look * Listen * Feel * Imagine * and unleash their creative voice in a new and exciting way by painting from their heart and imagination, using both formal and unique techniques. This will help to liberate the soul though fun, excitement, curiosity and wonder, taking you back to childhood when you did things just for fun, with no pressure or guilt!
The more creative we are, and the more beauty that we produce, we guarantee liberty, personal freedom, empowerment, and prosperity in our lives.
