Information: Amy S is a multi-disciplinary artist living in Florida. She spent the first 20 years of her life growing up in Alaska, which has many months of cold and darkness. This inspired her to use unconventional materials to create a space indoors filled with colorful art and interesting designs. After moving to Florida, she earned her Masters Degree in Art Education, and spent 8 years teaching public and private school students about art. Having missed the time to create her own work, she decided quit teaching to follow her passion and became a full time artist.

Guided by her fascination with different cultures, communities, and fashion, Amy merges digital design with various materials and textures. Layers of media, such as resin castings, plexiglass, beads and glass are carefully placed to give each artwork a three dimensional (3-D) appearance. Each figure is imagined from a distant memory or dream and inspired by the beauty of nature and growth, giving the viewer a sense or joy and wonder while also having them construct their own connection from the various visual elements.
