About Amy Irish

Amy's artwork features an eclectic style utilizing a range of mediums including oil paint, printmaking, pastel, and watercolor. Her approach to art comes from recognizing a variety of styles, thereby creating art from combining the influence of playful surrealism, a touch of abstract expressionism, old world realism, and fantasy. The dominant theme expressed overall is a strong connection to nature and color translated into landscapes, animals, figures, water, and flowers. Waterfalls are a recurring subject in the artwork because of an intrigue by the challenge of capturing the never ending motion and flow of water, and for the serenity and peacefulness wondrous natural places evoke in the human spirit and imagination. Cats, whether domesticated or wild, are ever present in her art, because of a personal affliction and love for all that is feline.
