"In Darkness & Light: Reflections of Kenya," an exhibit of
recent paintings by Kevin Patrick Kelly. Gallery hours are Monday
to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., for the show that continues to January
28.
Kelly has been making art since childhood as a way to communicate
what is simultaneously commonplace and transcendent. He says he has
spent his time considering silence — "the space between what
is said and what is done — the movement of the world in relation
to creation. I have made art, as many do, from my sense of memory,
time, dream, chance, confusion, faith, and voice."

The dazzling collection of over 300 art objects and artifacts from

a period of 200 years and 6,000 miles. From the Imperial Court of
St. Petersburg through the Russian winter in Siberia to the New World
of Alaska and Northern California and back to Moscow for the
