"Slipping into a Dream Within a Dream" Amy Rowland About me: Born in 1981, watercolor and pencil artist, Amy Rowland, began drawing at a young age. She began scribbling as soon as she learned what a pencil was. All through her younger years and high school, Amy sketched, painted,colored, and doodled on everything. That would include her bedroom wall, which was a masterpiece that lasted only one day. Amy is mostly self taught but has had alot of help along the way from angel/fairie artist, Sue Miller. At the age of 12, Amy began studying with Sue. She has continued to study with Sue to this day. She has helped amy build the confidence and knowledge she needs to pursue her art career. Amy now works for a promotional advertising company, Ad Magic Inc, where she has used her art to create logos, design brochures, and customize playing card decks. Shari Spiro, the president of Ad Magic, has taught Amy for the past 5 years in the graphic design field. Amy still designs and paints on her personal time for fun. She does alot of freelance side work as well. Amy hopes to one day publish a book or hang in a museum. Some of her inspirations include: Salvador Dali, Dr. Suess, Tim Burton, Brian Froud, Giorgio Di Chrico, Sam Brown, Andy Warhol, Amy Brown, Jessica Galbreth, Shari Spiro, and of course Sue Miller. However, Amy's greatest inspirations are every sorrow and every joy she has felt throughout her life. A picture is worth a thousand words and the emotion put into making it is priceless. |
