Reception Details
- Date: Friday, Oct. 9
- Time: 4 to 5:30 p.m.
- Location: Forum Room at Sonoma Valley Library, 755 W. Napa St., Sonoma
Kelley expressed her excitement about showcasing her work, stating, “I’ve had a lot of fun with this… I thought it’s a big part of who I am and I might as well take it out of the closet and show it.”
Many pieces in the exhibit were created using her non-dominant hand, inspired by her therapy sessions. Kelley reports that she produced over 100 watercolors during this creative process, some of which were transformed into fabric art.
With a career spanning approximately 50 years, Kelley has an extensive portfolio, including public art projects such as:
- A 12-foot mural of Portugal
- Fireplace artwork at LaSalette restaurant
- A large mosaic lamp previously showcased at Breakaway Café
Don’t miss the chance to see her work displayed throughout October!
