Meet Amy Lewis
Reception : April 29th 4pm-7pm
Her colorful, realist paintings are snapshots of glamorized ordinary life.Amy is mostly self taught in watercolor and oil painting. She started this business in the hopes of adding more joy and beauty to the world. "There's aesthetic joy in the cheap foods we eat and in the hands we work with but we often overlook it. Luxurious settings and richly decorated people matched with common objects and foods creates a juxtaposition designed to highlight things we take for granted. I am inspired by everyday surroundings, editorial photography and the paintings of aristocracy in the 18th-19th centuries."
"I’m constantly exploring ways to portray ordinary life as glamorous. Art gives us eyes to see. Everyday objects with luxurious backgrounds create a juxtaposition which sparks an appreciation for the things we take for granted."
