Born in 1981, watercolor and pencil artist, Amy Rowland, began drawing at a young age. She started 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 was mostly self taught, but then began studying with angel/fairie artist, Sue Miller. She has continued to study with Sue to this day. She has helped Amy build her confidence and knowledge to pursue an 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 over 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.
