Daniel Kelly (artist)

Daniel Kelly (born 1947, Idaho Falls, Idaho) is an American artist based in Kyoto, Japan. Works primarily consist of original paintings and prints. Paintings usually begin with three dimensional collage making incorporating materials that can be found in Japan such as tatami and bamboo mats. In printmaking Kelly primarily works with lithography and woodblock, often using chine-collé to incorporate materials such as antique Japanese book pages, ukiyo-e and calligraphy into his prints.
