Artist Statement
Deirdre Kelly was a participant in the Art Stroll from its beginnings in 2008 until her passing in 2018. Since Deirdre had such a rich, varied, and large body of work, her husband John Hillian has tried to show a different display each year. This year the focus will be on her photography. In her artistic life, Deirdre often said, “Never be without your sketchbook, and never be without your camera.” For Deirdre, photography was as much a source for future painting ideas as it was a way to engage in and observe the world around her, be it in her backyard garden, around the Island, or in her travels to Japan, Cuba, Central America, Britain, and elsewhere.
