Patrick Kelly works in a variety of mediums such as painting, sculpture, drawing, and photography.  Utilizing appropriated text and imagery he interjects objective and non-objective “blips” of information that interrupts, or redirects, the normal processes of interpretation.

Kelly was born in Houston and raised in Lubbock, Texas.  He received his BFA from the University of North Texas in Denton and an MFA from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas.  He has been the recipient of several awards and has shown his work at the Galveston Arts Center, Contemporary Art Center - Fort Worth, Arlington Museum of Art, and San Antonio Museum of Art as well as many other institutions throughout Texas and the United States.  He is currently the Curator of Exhibitions at the Old Jail Art Center in Albany, Texas.
