Kelli J DePue-Wemple was born in Missoula, MT and raised in the Bitterroot Valley. She chose to return to school in her mid-thirties to pursue her Bachelor of Fine Arts at the U of M. Prior to her university studies, she was self-taught in the art of drawing and acrylic painting. Primarily a landscape realist, she naturally focused on the landscapes she grew up around. Kelli's fascination with the work of Picasso as well as other early abstract artists influenced her desire to explore the genre in her studio courses- first in acrylic painting, then on paper using colored inks and charcoal.
Kelli's work is still relative to the natural world in that it is process derived, ensuing some of the same events that happen to the earth's surfaces over time, such as lichen and alluvial fans. She is interested in the contrast between the drawn line, and line that is formed naturally in nature, both are prevalent in her work. Kelli creates her art in her studio near Alberton, a bedroom community near Missoula, where she resides with her husband and two children. She has exhibited at the U of M and locally. Education

SkillsI frame my own drawings, mostly in a floated configuration, using archival mat, anti-glare plexi, and metal frame. I'm still exploring wooden framing materials. Related Items:
