John G. Kelley

The Maine Coast
John, a life-long naturalist, explores the openness and expanses of the Maine Coast. Asked to describe his approach, Kelley quotes author Gretel Ehrlich, who in her collection of beautiful essays, The Solace of Open Spaces, writes, "Space represents sanity, not a life purified, dull, or 'spaced-out' but one that might accommodate intelligently any idea or situation." Philip Isaacson of the Maine Sunday Telegram wrote: “His images are beautiful, atmospheric and elegantly achieved. This is classic landscape photography of a high order.” His work has appeared in numerous publications and he has been exhibited in both solo and group shows.
