Happy Friday dears! Directly inspired by Monday's post about New Mexico, today I will be sharing with you the wonderful world of artist Amy Alice Thompson. I recently came across her work on The Jealous Curator {one of my favorite sources for contemporary art} and absolutely fell in love with her use of vintage landscapes, mixed media {a technique that is one of my personal favorites}, nostalgia, geometric shapes, and of course GOLD. I don't know about you, but I'm about ready to pack my bags and head out for a road trip of the Southwest!
More about Amy..."Amy's work has centred on re-contextualizing imagery from the 40's and 50's through mixed media. Her work explores themes of memory, childhood, and the natural world through the mediums of drawing, painting, and collage. She studied Fine Art at York University and graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design (Toronto/Florence, Italy) with Honours in 1995. Her work has been exhibited across Canada as well as New York, Los Angeles, Paris and Berlin. She has exhibited with The Ottawa Art Gallery (Ottawa), Art Interiors (Toronto) and Diane Farris Gallery (Vancouver). She has received support from the City of Ottawa, Ontario Arts Council and Canada Council and her imagery has been featured on book, magazine and album covers." - Amy Alice Thompson
