Amy E. Ward

AMY'S WORK EXPLORES RELATIONSHIPS... DUALITIES. the dynamic spaces in between. IT IS INFORMED BY layers of story: realism and abstraction, landforms and currents, sight and light. an artist with deep roots in education and wilderness leadership, Amy has spent her life examining relationships through art: to self, to each other, to landscape and the earth.  she lives and works out of Idaho Springs, Colorado.  the little mountain house with the yellow door, elevation 7,526 ft. She holds a BA in Visual Art and an M.Ed. in Art Education. Amy’s artwork brings a fresh approach to abstract expressionism: the visceral energy of her paint focused beginnings slows into secondary layers of finely detailed inky line work.  the magic is in the tension between the layers.  in the relationships.
