Caffyn Kelley is a multidisciplinary artist and writer whose work in various media is united by a concern for social issues and community process. In the 1980's she worked as the editor and publisher of Gallerie, a journal of women artists. More recently, she has developed a body of work around the concept of “mapping” home and nature, with large-scale public projects in Vancouver that link art with environmental concerns. She is a passionate local activist who serves on the board of several organizations. She is a founding member of Gays and Lesbians of Salt Spring Island (GLOSSI) and the Islands Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies, where she is currently helping to create transformative educational programs.
