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'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.

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.
