About the exhibition
Through a generous gift from the Delaware County Arts Grant, I spent the past year building on previous concepts I had about home, family and community. I explored ways that figures and shapes could be depicted on the canvas to represent that which connects us and sustains us here.
This new body of work attempts to portray the relationships between the environment, this community and those who inhabit it. Our existence here is contained in this particular place, rife with elements that echo nature, home and community. It is within these paintings that those elements interact. Figures, simultaneously imaginary and abstracted reside in a similarly imaginary and abstracted landscape.

Join us at ArtUp Gallery on Sunday, January 4, from 2–4 PM for an artist talk with Amy Masters. Amy will share insights into her creative process and the inspirations behind Family Portraits, her latest body of work. As a painter, Amy explores the interplay of color, line, and edges, drawing from moments, memories, and nature to craft dynamic and evocative pieces. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from the artist and gain a deeper understanding of her work.
About the Artist
Amy
Masters
I have been making things with my hands ever since I can remember.
I think of myself as a painter and a printmaker. There are times when those two worlds require total separation and then there are times when they compliment one another.
I look closely at my surroundings and so nature informs my work but is not always directly represented. Sometimes it is a memory or a moment that I try and relate through color or line or both. I like to pay attention to how edges and color meet up against one another and what that dynamic brings to the experience of both looking at the work and creating it.
