Information from the Art Museum of Greater Victoria: Kerry Joe Kelly (1945-2014) was a glass artist born in Victoria. Though he lived in Portugal for many years until his death, he visited frequently and remained in contact with the Gallery. Locally, his work can be found in our collection, UVAC, the beautiful glass panels in the Rithets Building on Warf St., and in Pat Martin Bates front door. Kelly exhibited at the AGGV in 1975 and 1985, and has shown internationally, with notable exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Toledo Art Museum, Corning Museum of Glass, Victoria & Albert Museum, and Open Space. Kelly was largely self taught, and drew significant inspiration from his relationships with other local artists, such as Jack Kidder.
I'm afraid these pages are out of order. Early this year I posted a question relaxed to the subject but never got any reply. Where did I go wrong?
