Kelly will be exhibiting her portrait of Olympic Medalist Rower Tracy Cameron.  See some of Kelly's photos from the opening...

Artist's Statement:

“An Lasair A-Staigh."  -- gaelic, meaning “The Flame Within.” It is this inner flame, this strength, strength of body, strength of mind, focus, spirit and grace, that I hope I have illuminated in this portrait of Tracy Cameron.

The paper I chose has fibres that are visible, flowing, unhidden throughout the portrait, as a current that I feel portrays the flow of Tracy’s energy, of the water which she parts with her oars, the flow of her thoughtful, competitive nature, and of course, the flicker, the flame of the Olympic torch, The Flame Within, that draws together like minded athletes from around the world.
