The story behind
Art By Udemé
Udemé Salter is a artist and performer from colorful Colorado. Since she was 3 years old she's always been an artist and performer. When she was in first grade it was the first time her artwork was displayed in public at the local mall gallery. The artwork displayed was from a classroom project where Udemé drew a portrait of her best friend from school named Ashley. The drawing was on a foam poster board and she used all crayons but putting lots of detail into her friends colorful winter sweater. That same year Udemé went to her first audition ever for Barbizon Modeling and Acting School. Here is when her passion for show business began! She then started her first business venture at eight years old. "I sold tie-dye-colored baby wipes for 50 cents around my neighborhood. I created these wipes by using my baby sister's wipes as inventory and my washable Crayola markers! As I sold more wipes in my neighborhood I began to sell them at school as well. Within a month my mother had me buying my own supplies because she kept running out of wipes. Thinking back at it now it all makes sense!" says the rising artist.
​
During her adolescent years, she focused on both Art and Performing Arts. In middle school she had the privilege of learning to sew and ceramic sculpting in art class. Her favorite middle school art projects are a backpack from home economics class and a ceramic jewelry box from art class. Udemé fell in love with clay after that 7th grade year. During that school year she also participated in school productions and kept auditioning around Denver, CO. She then became very involved in her Church's youth ministry with her older sister as a singer and step-team member continuing to her teenage years.
It wasn't until Udemé's 11th grade year in high school that she decided art is something she wants to do for the rest of her life! "I received a lot of recognition as an advanced ceramic student with an innovative prospective." says Udemé . After high school Udemé began her college journey as a fine art student and career in retail fashion.
