Santa Fe, NM.— LewAllen Galleries is pleased to announce “John Kiley: Inclinations” on view at their Railyard Arts District venue through September 11th. This exhibition constitutes the gallery’s first solo presentation of works by the artist. Recognized for the exceptional formal refinement of his blown, carved, and polished glass sculptures, Kiley has earned many of glass art’s most esteemed distinctions since his career’s inception at age 19. Trained at the Pilchuk Glass School and the Penland School of Crafts, Kiley worked for the Dale Chihuly studio at the age of 20 before winning an apprenticeship with both Dante Marioni and Benjamin Moore. Additionally, he has traveled as a principal team member with Lino Tagliapietra for more than fifteen years.
