Painter: Amy Sol
Ninja June 4th, 2007
Quiet beauty. Dreamscapes. Furry critters rustling around. Unlikely companions. Sleepy eyes. Soft, muted colors. Oh, I wish I could paint like Amy Sol! And to think, she’s a self-taught artist.
Amy is an American-born, Las Vegas-based artist who draws inspiration from eceletic sources like manga, folk-art, Art Nouveau, and the desert (she lives on the outskirts of Vegas). Sol starts her paintings by sketching on wooden boards and then coating this with an acrylic glaze before applying paint.
There’s the inital draw of her wonderfully delicate scenes, but it’s her craft and narrative skill that keeps me totally entranced.
