| MR.
BUTLER: |
Gary Kennedy of Port de Grave is an established
Newfoundland artist who is recognized in many parts of
the world. His work can be found in private collections
in Australia, Norway, England and the United States.
Without any formal training, his style evolved
through the influence of the late George Noseworthy, a
celebrity American artist from New York who moved to
Port de Grave in 1966. One of his many highlights is the
exhibition that is presently taking place at The Rooms.
His exhibits will be at the art gallery in St. John’s
until December 7.
The late E.H. Vokey, an educator, made the following
comment, "I wish I could express in words, what you
have done with a brush and paint." Truly a
remarkable story and a milestone for one of our many
local artists.
I ask all hon. members to extend congratulations to
Mr. Gary Kennedy and I hope you will be able to visit
his exhibits at The Rooms before December 7.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
