Breckenridge, Colorado

Artist's Statement

Amy’s plein air oil paintings are known for the subtle color that she sees in nature as well as her expressive brushwork. Her studio paintings are created from her outdoor studies. Collectors have remarked that her work often doesn’t shout at you...it is quiet and serene. Amy Evans feels that her paintings fills a void that many current art trends are lacking, bringing serenity and beauty to one’s space.

Her paintings have been in exhibits and galleries in Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, New Mexico, Virginia, and Wyoming. Her work is also in private and corporate collections throughout the United States. One of her paintings was recently selected for the annual Breckenridge Music Festival Poster.

Amy holds a B.A. with Distinction in Art from Rhodes College, Memphis, TN. She has also studied at the Art Students League of Denver, Colorado, and the former Taos Institute of Art. She is currently an art instructor for the Breckenridge Arts District.

Amy is a signature member and past president of Women Artists of the West, a signature member of Plein Air Artists of Colorado, founding member of Piedmont Outdoor Painting Society in North Carolina, and an associate member of American Impressionist Society and Oil Painters of America.

“ Being outdoors as a part of the landscape while painting feeds my soul and gives my work a quality that can’t be obtained any other way.”
