BIOGRAPHY: AMY LIND

Amy Lind's (b. October 6, 1983) status as an emerging figurative painter is becoming more and more evident. At the young age of 27, Lind's work had already graced the cover of two nationally renowned magazines, Art Calendar (May 2010) and American Art Collector (December 2010), and in February (2011) she was named Southwest Art magazine's “Artist to Watch: the Editor's Choice for Up-and-Coming Talent.” She was recently recognized with honorable mentions in the prestigious Art Renewal Center Salon and the Portrait Society of America's Member's Only competition.

With a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design and additional instruction from the Florence Academy of Art and the Bay Area Classical Artist Atelier, Lind's eclectic training is visible in both the traditional and contemporary qualities that her paintings possess. Compelled by the striking subjects around her, she poetically infuses captivating qualities of color and intriguing light into each of her paintings while attempting to convey a sense of life, beauty, and truth.

Lind's work hangs around the world in both public and private collections. On top of gallery work, she is sought out by many for her uncanny ability to capture the likeness and essence of those she paints. Furthermore in addition to the fine art world, her paintings can now be found published in a Penguin children's book titled "Marcel the Shell With Shoes On: Things About Me".

Lind grew up in the Chicagoland area, recently had the opportunity to live in sunny California for three years, and now calls beautiful Savannah, Georgia her home where she lives with her husband in their quaint 1930 brick bungalow.
