"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."
