Reconnecting November 2022

As I write this letter, I am excited to be preparing for my return to Naples after Hurricane Ian interrupted all of our lives.

I was born an artist. I have always loved to draw. When in school, I could be caught drawing the teacher’s shoes or someone’s backpack instead of taking notes! I’ve had a few art classes, but basically, I’m self-taught.

I've been inspired by the world beyond my easel. Suddenly, my palette became drenched in vivid, saturated color. My creative energies are revived.

I'm celebrating "World Art Day" by reflecting on the long and purposeful journey of creativity that led to what makes Amy Art unique today.

Spring is a season of renewal, warmth and joy. When creating a series of floral pieces, I often feel these same emotions.

Whew, it's been a busy month in the studio! As I continue to be inspired and create, the website is a great way to view currently available art.

I love that we have a holiday dedicated to gratitude. I honor Thanksgiving by celebrating the joy of life that I strive to capture in my work.

People are surprised to learn that I prepare my canvases by painting them cadmium red. The color adds vibrancy and depth to the finished art. It is the foundation of my paintings.

Please meet my newest painting, "Distance," fresh from my studio and inspired by this time of isolation. Remember, we are not alone. We stand together.

Greetings to my friends and family during this difficult time. I hope you are staying safe -- and sane! Many of us in quarantine can take solace in beauty, binge TV, walks in nature, and time with family.
