Amy Brnger - Dynamic Painting
|
|
|
Our guest artist, Amy Brnger, from Eliot, Maine, has painted still life, flowers, interiors and landscape for as long as she has been an artist. She uses nature as a vehicle, or an excuse, to paint, and enjoys painting places and things with and about which she is familiar or curious. Forgotten and overlooked places are a particular favorite. Her paintings are expressive, energetic, and attempt to capture the changing nature of living things. Shown left is Summer Sunflowers, 2021, 8 x 8, oil on panel.

|
|
Amy has been teaching painting since 2012, but has been a painter for over 35 years. Thanks to the Coronavirus, she finally took the plunge and learned how to teach online and loves it. Her classes and workshops are available on her website, amybrnger.com, as well as with the Winslow Art Center in Bainbridge Island, Washington.
