Artist Amy Kelly grew up in Texas and earned a BFA in painting from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. After a lifetime of city living, she fell in love with Cape Cod, a place that now serves as a profound inspiration for her art. The protected woodlands and seashores of Cape Cod have become the muse for her work, reflecting the beauty and fragility of her adopted home. Her art serves as a poignant reminder to appreciate the precious natural wonders that surround us, inviting the audience to connect with the beauty of Cape Cod.

Amy Kelly's art is a celebration of the fragility and natural beauty that surrounds us. In addition to her love for painting, she has cultivated a deep passion for ceramics. Her journey into this art form began as a means to explore three-dimensional expression, leading her to discover her talent for working with precious metal clay. The delicate nature of this medium resonates with her artistic vision, allowing her to create intricate pieces that reflect the beauty of her surroundings. Through her PMC work, she continues to celebrate the fragility of nature, merging her love for the Cape Cod landscape with her hand crafting skills.

Neil Grant is an English representational sculptor who makes fine art through a slightly different lens. The winner of the 2018 Newby Patrons Award at the National Sculpture Society’s Annual Awards Exhibition, he combines technical skill with storytelling and humor.

Neil lives on Cape Cod, Massachusetts where he sculpts out of his studio, and is part of the teaching faculty at Cotuit Center for the Arts.

“Sculpture is how I put my thoughts out into the world, and so I try to make sure that they are ideas worth sharing,” says Neil. “All sculptures have an origin story, and mine normally begin with questions such as, ‘I wonder if anyone has ever attempted that in clay before?’ or ‘It’s probably not what you’d call classical sculpture, but I wonder if people would like it?’ I love sculpture and any other form of art that fuses skill, emotion, and—if it can—a bit of humor. That’s what I aim for in my work."
