“It is my private mountain. God told me if I painted it enough, I could have it.”
Georgia O'Keeffe
about the artist
Amy is a Georgia-born artist who never met a color she didn’t like. Her work is playful and forgiving, illustrating unguarded, tender moments of everyday life. She creates art as an ongoing practice of authenticity and as an open invitation for the viewer to take rest inside.
Amy is influenced by the uninhibited forms of color field painters such as Etel Adnan and Helen Frankenthaler, and she takes narrative cues from folk artists such as Maud Lewis. She paints because it makes for easy conversation – with the environment, with others, with herself. She hopes to never take it too seriously.
