About John Kelly
Master Artist and Seafarer John Patrick Kelly spent his youth in the John Brown Shipyards in pre World war II Scotland, watching his Dad transform metal ribs, plates, rivets and bulkheads into masterpieces of beauty. He watched the magic of shipbuilding unfold before front of him while the magic in his hands and fingers and eyes transformed the ships, rivers and shipyards into drawings on paper for all to see, for posterity.
He has often times been referred to as the "Maritime Painter", a title that describes much of his early work but it barely touches the surface of his skills as an artist. He has traveled the world capturing its beauty and mystery onto canvas using pencil, pastels, oils and acrylic.
