About the artist:

Born in Twin Falls Idaho, his family immediately moved to Monte Vista, Colorado where he lived until age 12. Many of the idyllic memories of this childhood inform his imagination and enter into his work. Moving from a very small farming and ranching community, he was plunged into the crazed consumer culture of Southern California. He lived in La Mesa, California and watched as the entire face of America changed with Vietnam, rampant divorce, and then the summer of love. He attended Grossmont College and immersed himself in art. Seeking to escape the drug crazed beach culture, he set out for northern California.

Kelly attended Cal State University at Hayward where he studied with Mel Ramos, Raymond Saunders, Harold Schlotzhauer, Misch Kohn, Kenji Nanao and Clayton Bailey. He later attended U.C.Davis for graduate school and studied with Robert Arneson, Wayne Thiebaud, Manuel Neri, Roy DeForest, William Wiley and David Gilhooly. After graduate school he spent time living at both DeForest and Arneson’s houses. During this time he had his first teaching job at American River College in Sacramento.
