Join us for a presentation from artist Marty Kelley.

Marty Kelly, curretly the featured artist in the Peterborough Town Library's Community Art Gallery, will give a presentation on his artmaking process with time for questions at the end!

About the artist:

For the past 25 years, Marty Kelley has worked as a full-time traditionally published children’s book author & illustrator. While realistic portrait work in watercolor and pencil has always been his passion, his current focus is split between creating highly realistic portrait art and abstract sculptures. Working with stone, metal, and wood Kelley creates organic sculptures that surprise and delight viewers by using the materials in unexpected ways. Working in two entirely separate ways–tightly rendered realism in portraiture and much rougher abstract work in stone–has afforded him time to explore ways the two disciplines can inform each other. Each way of creating makes him think in different ways and brings him joy when he's making art.
