Artist Statement for Amy Whitney
|
|
|
I primarily paint in acrylic on either stretched canvas or linen. Since moving to Sacramento in 2000, I have been painting landscapes and abstractions in addition to my previous themes of people, plants and animals.
My father is an artist and art professor, so I have been exposed to the visual arts all my life. However, I lack formal art training. I minored in fine arts in undergraduate, but took only printmaking classes and a couple of drawing classes. I then earned a law degree. Painting has remained the major driving force in my life, and I have been able to devote more and more time to it recently.
People often ask me how I can combine such two different professions. I feel that these two paths compliment each other. The study of law helps the art because it has developed my discipline, stamina, eye for detail and capacity for abstract reasoning. The painting has improved my law practice by forcing me to seek novel solutions to problems, to question assumptions, to feel more comfortable with ambiguity and failure, and to take risks.
As always, thank you for your support of the arts.
