A Note from Amy

Figuring out which green looks great with lavendar is a happy problem to wrestle with. In my workroom I play with colors, shapes, and lines, looking for a combination that feels right. Working with fabric lets me get my hands into the color. I like my floral sculptures to reference the familiar, such as shapes we recognize or materials from our tactile world, and to feel like new visual experiences.

I love the work of Henri Matisse and Faith Ringgold, Niki de Saint Phalle and Ouizi, Jim Henson and the Mummenschanz, Alexander McQueen and the fabric of Vlisco. There is so much greatness out there- so much to make our hearts sing a little in the week.

I graduated from Rhode Island School of Design and from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and have always been quietly working with fabric and color.
