Amy Webber

Amy Webber is a Sarasota Florida resident since 1980. She was originally from Illinois . After graduating from Illinois State University with a degree in commercial art she moved out west, spending many years as a freelance artist. She spent time experiencing Arizona , Colorado , and Wyoming countrysides, studying nature and the incredible views. Many times you would find her at the base of a lake with a mountain view or in the desert hills painting or drawing. The west has a large influence in her artwork. She loves the western landscape. Having a restless nature, she moved around the west until in 1980 when she came to Sarasota Florida for a two-week vacation and decided to stay.

 

She began to study architecture and has spent over a decade in the design field. One day while looking for an experience to share with her small son she signed up for a ceramic class. That was like giving water to a flower for her. She had found a missing link within herself, finding a creative expression endless through clay. It did not stop there with ceramics though; by the clay pieces needing to be photographed, another creative outlet opened up. Her love of nature inspires her to photograph it and what she sees through the camera comes through. Clay allows her to combine her love of photography and painting. Amy continues to pursue her passion for creative expression through the arts. Being so versatile allows her to explore the endless possibilities of using different mediums. She is always looking for new ways to experiment ideas in the potential of various mediums.
