John Kelly Biography

Born in Scotland into a seafaring family, Kelly immigrated to Canada as a young boy. His experiences as a Merchant Marine seaman sailing off the coasts of Canada and Alaska would later be the subject of his artwork. His career as a musician included performing in nationally known bands, The Echoes and The Dolphins as well as with Don Ho. He returned to his art career, displaying precocious and prodigious talent and advancing quickly to study at the Art Center College of Design in the Los Angeles area.

In addition, John Kelly studied under and collaborated with Lynton Kisteler to produce unique maritime works that now reside in the Smithsonian Museum. Other famous series by Kelly include the Cargo & Steamship Series, and the Sea Odyssey series. Newer series include Tropical Dreams, San Francisco cityscapes, and the upcoming Homage to William Turner, saluting the beloved and influential British landscape painter. His collectors have reached over 75,000 throughout the world.

Influenced by the rich tapestry of his life experiences and world travels, Kelly’s body of work is impressive in many ways, but especially in its far-reaching international scope. John was the first American artist to depict The People’s Republic of China in a lithographic suite.
