Kari Keller has been a Champaign/Urbana resident since 2008, originally hailing from the tiny town of St. Anne, IL. She has a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a certificate in massage therapy, and considers herself a lifelong learner. She has had a passion for art since she could hold a crayon.

Kari loves to experiment with many different styles, and rarely sticks to one theme for long. She has dabbled in cartoons, acrylic pouring, zentangles, patterns, logo design painting pottery, to name a few. Her influences include Alphonse Mucha, HR Geiger, the art of Northwest coastal Native Americans, and various cartoons and anime. She also has a thriving side business as a face painter.

Kari is happiest when immersed in a new project and can’t imagine life without art!
