Kelley grow up on the family fann and began carving at age 7. As an adult, he sold his work to individual dealers, yet exhibited his remarkable painted wood carvings in a public space for the first time only in 198^ in a show called \Works Over Time” at Gallery 53 when the arts center was located on Pioneer Street Guest curated by Bette Alexander and support^ m part by the O ’Connor Foundation, the show feauircd works of six senior arusts, including Kelley. \Lavem was our spnng chick en,” recalled Sydney Waller, who coordinated the exhibition. \Although te was only m his late SOs, his p o w ^ u l painted wood carvings simply had to be featured in the show.” Later that year, Kelley’s work wa§ exhibited at the Delaware County Historical Assocituion in “Between the Branches,” and sud denly cridcal acclaim and appn^eci- adon for a lifetime of carving grew by leaps and bounds. The New York State Coaned on the Arts recognized Kelley’s extraordinary merit, and awarded him several grants through Gallery 53’s efforts. The first, folk artist-in-resi dence, was in the summer of 1986. With the help of the grant, he spent his Saturdays in Smithy Artworks on the ground floor of the Pioneer Street gallery space, sharing his working methods with the ^neral public. The residency culminated in a one-person exhi bition running Jan. 22 through March 28. 1987. “I met so many people that summer, from all over the world.\ Kelley recounted. Among others. Kelley met local wood carver Gary Rathbone. \He brought in a pocketful of claws for hands,” chuckled Kelley. Rathbone later became appren- uce to Kelley in anothw New York State Council on the Arts See CARVING tsa Page 12 Lavem Kelley, a renowned wood carver, will put on demonstrations duiing Ws 10- year retrospective exhibition at Gallery 53 Artworks.
