Biography
Amy is trained specifically in printmaking, and she received her B.F.A. from the Ringling College of Art and Design, M.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute, and M.A. in Art History with an emphasis in printmaking from Prescott College.
She has taught printmaking at the Kent Bellows Studio, Metropolitan Community College, University of Nebraska at Omaha, and her studio in the Midco Building.
Printmaking for Amy is about strategizing, problem solving and the thrill of revealing an image when pulling a print.
Over the years she has developed an understanding and adoration for watercolor. Learning the medium post-graduate school, she has been teaching it at UNO longer than any other course.
Artist's Statement
Printmaking is about experimentation, meditation through process, and reflection. Creating an image on a plate’s surface, manipulating it, mixing color, and pulling a print is so methodical that I find these steps captivating.
When I started teaching at UNO, I fell in love with watercolor and discovered it is a lot like printmaking. The media instantly resonated with me. Both printmaking and watercolor are methodical processes, something I find intriguing.
The best thing about teaching is seeing students grow technically and become comfortable with their ideas. Learning is a mutual and reciprocal experience; I enjoy learning about the evolution of materials and media with my students. I am a lifelong learner and try to instill the same in my students.
