Lee Kelly’s modernist sculpture, drawings, paintings and collage often reflect influences from the artist's extensive travels, modern technology and events in his life. Kelly has been called "Oregon's sculptor" producing works of monumental scale and beauty since the 1960s.
Kelly’s sculptures can be seen throughout Oregon, Washington and California. Kelly’s work was featured on Oregon Art Beat in 2007. In 2010, Kelly was the subject of a major career retrospective at the Portland Art Museum.
