Amy Ilic-Volpe

Artist Statement

Amy's work is a reflection of her appreciation of adventure, experimentation, and process. She attempts to see her process-driven work through the excitement and vitality of young eyes. She is an intuitive artist and maker, who is intrigued by mark-making and fluid applications of color and shape. She allows her mediums to speak to her and she engages with them in free and loose movement. She doesn't typically plan her work, rather allows the spirit of art-making to speak through her, oftentimes allowing the process of art-making to be the true representation of art. The true beauty is in the experience. The artwork evolves as a visceral and emotional practice.
