Amy Ash

Amy is Trinity Galleries' newest find, a very promising young artist. She graduated with a BFA from Mount Allison University in 2004, and promptly thereafter moved to southern Japan. She spent three years teaching (with intermittent bursts of travel), and four months traveling back. Currently, Amy is nestled in Hampton, painting and making things in a little room which serves as her studio. In her spare time she teaches throughout district six.

Since debuting her work at Trinity Galleries' Christmas "Small Works Show" in November 2008, Amy has become the most sought after artist.

"The coarse and heavy materials that I choose to work with, the frenzy of the surface ground and the juxtaposition of line and texture (or in some cases pattern) function at once to set the focus on the figure and present the mayhem out of which the visual story grows. I treat each piece as completely individual and work it intuitively adding stitching, recycled fabrics and beading, allowing my materials to guide me to a final product. Each additional element adding an enchantment or sub-story to the one I am already telling." - Amy Ash
