Amy DeLap works in both representational and non-objective directions in her painting. She taught painting and design at Vincennes University for 32 years. In 2009 she retired from teaching and now works as an independent artist based in Indiana. She earned a BFA degree in sculpture from Washington University in St. Louis and also did undergraduate work at the Tyler School or Art and the University of Michigan School of Art. Her MFA in painting/mixed-media was earned at the University of Michigan's Horace Rackham School of Graduate Studies. DeLap is married to sculptor Andrew Jendrzejewski. In 2013, DeLap and Jendrzejewski opened Art Space Vincennes, a gallery of contemporary art housed in an historic home the couple rehabbed into a gallery and studio space. They are currently in the third year of managing the First City Public Sculpture Project, which has brought 15 large-scale outdoor sculptures to the city of Vincennes where they will remain on display for three-year loan periods.
