Travelling the globe in a blaze of "colour and character", with a style that is highly individualistic, Kendall is taking the art world by storm.

Leaving a technicoloured trail that leads all the way back to her home in Buderim on the beautiful Queensland Sunshine Coast.

Painting professionally for the past 15 years, Kendall decided three years ago to enter the export market and has since travelled to South Korea, Singapore, Mumbai, Bangalore, New Delhi, Toronto,Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, exhibiting and painting "live on location" for Tourism Australia, Tourism Queensland, Austrade and The Office of the Australian Consulate General.

The sales of her artworks and extreme art performance style so popular, she is often booked 12 months in advance. In the coming year she will showcase her work in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and has been approached to exhibit in Dubai, Shanghi, Beijing and Bucharest ,with an action plan to take her new "Kendall by Design "homewares range to the four corners of the globe.

From humble beginnings and after being told at school that "no one makes money out of art", Kendall is managing to create a niche in the art world nationally as well as internationally, selling hundreds of paintings a year.

Kendall's paintings are housed in public and private collections world wide, and she has already signed with galleries and art dealers in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and India and intends to spread her wings further in the international gallery scene in 2008.

When asked why people seem to love her artworks whether they be paintings or homewares Kendall replies:

" I think my works have a "feel good factor" and people buy then because they make them feel happy and alive!!  I absolutely love and am passionate about what I do, I'm always changing and evolving. I have always prided myself in being an INNOVATOR not an imitator, I create a quality product at a reasonable price that is always appreciating in value. I like to keep my work diverse so that there is always something for everyone .

I NEVER set out to be Rembrandt and I never take myself too seriously!!"

Here is what the world is saying ...

  • The art of Kendall Perkins is so alive; it takes your breath away. Her paintings are so chunky and organic; you'll want to bite them. The word 'sold' was stamped across most of her price tags when we dropped by.

  • The cliché of starving artist in a garret does not sit well with Kendall Perkins who regards her art as a business. Her bold, bright paintings have found a niche with art lovers who want colour and lively pictures on their walls.

  • Talking to Artist Kendall Perkins is like trying to cook popcorn in a pan without the lid on. She paints in a fast & furious technique, colours leaping off her brush into pictures which both exude and prompt emotion.

  • Artworks alive with colour are jumping off this gallery’s wall as keen collectors add to their acquisitions. She rolled up with 27 masterpieces and copped a slew of red dots on opening night, she’s already an international name and she’s ringing bells.

  • For Kendall, people are the inspiration. The live painting performance by Queensland Artist Kendall Perkins was the highlight of the Australia Day event.

The Hon Matt Foley MP Minister for the Arts (2003) said of Kendall:

"I'm sure many would be familiar with Ms Kendall Perkins-Brakels work, it is as distinctive as it is colourful and ranges from beach and cityscapes to vibrant flower designs.

Kendall brings as sense of irreverence and fun to her works that appeal to a wide audience. Ms Perkins-Brakels' art and business approach sit at the intersection of the culture and leisure industries and she is succeeding on her own terms.

Kendall is an entrepreneurial woman. She has exhibited extensively, and, through hard work, business acumen and a wonderful product, has successfully carved out a niche for herself in the contemporary art market".
