Kellie Hampton

Inspired by the moment I have paint on me, paint all around me and a canvas in front of me waiting for me to listen to it.” ~ Kellie Wallis Hampton

Kellie Wallis Hampton is an abstract expressionist painter from Calgary, AB, Canada. Her unique, bold, textural style captures emotion on canvas. Rarely using a paint brush, using acrylic, gold leaf, medium and the larger the canvas the better, Kellie begins her series with an intent. Whether it is a country she has visited that inspires her like Paris or Venice, the medieval mathematician, Fibonacci, or a word like Impetus or Glory, Kellie creates a place for this intent to be expressed. Her process is creating a space where nothingness and everything is wrapped around this intent and awaits for the blank canvas to speak and inspire her. With an abstract expressionist, les automatistes and action painter stylistic influence, Her art is expression, it is energetic, colourful, bold and unique.

With clients in Calgary, AB, Edmonton, AB, Canmore, AB, Fort Worth, TX, Charlotte, NC and Germany, showing in venues in Calgary, AB, Toronto, ON, Canmore, AB, Kelowna, BC and Salisbury, NC, Kellie is proving herself to be an up and coming artist in demand.
