The Paintings of Martha dePoo - Cheryl Newby Gallery

For much of her life Martha dePoo has been painting the fast disappearing Key West life that she grew up observing. As a child whose mother, Suzie dePoo (Zuzek) was a well-known artist adept in various media, Martha received expert nurturing and direction. After graduating from Key West High School in 1973, she took a job in the art department of Key West Hand Print Fabrics where she rose to department head. There she received invaluable training in color and design as well as the opportunity to create numerous tropical motifs for Lilly Pulitzer.

Since 1984 Martha dePoo has worked as a full-time artist, participating in many juried shows and winning numerous awards for her watercolors. In 2006 the Key West Art & Historical Society hosted an unprecedented ten week one-woman show of her paintings at the Customs House Museum.

After visiting the South Carolina lowcountry, Martha became enamored with its distinctive culture and charm as well as its history. Now dePoo is becoming known for her paintings which depict local inhabitants from the past and the present enjoying the rhythm of lowcountry life. Her ability to draw the viewer into the scene to share the experience of the moment is one of the many engaging aspects of her paintings. Her medium, watercolor, is demanding. It leaves little or no room for error; no putting in or taking out. When experiencing dePoo’s watercolors, it quickly becomes evident that this artist works with ease and confidence within the medium to which she has devoted and dedicated herself.
