Alabama Artists Case File 001 - Cews, Amy - AmyCrewsGallery.com
Q. What artists have influenced you?
A. Too many to list. I love the loose and effortless brushwork of Sargent, the subject matter of Mary Cassatt, and the raw emotion of Harry Paul Ally (my college Art Professor). I’ve been blessed to work with some incredibly gifted people.
Q. Has your style or approach changed since you first began showing your art?
A. I think all artists dabble in many subjects and styles initially until they find a particular subject or approach that feels most comfortable for them, and then it becomes recognizable. I used to do more landscapes and will likely return to that subject in time. I also paint much larger than I initially did. Part of that is confidence and part of it is a silly attempt of mine to loosen up. I do enjoy larger paintings. I wish I had the space to paint even bigger!
Q. What are you working on now?
A. Commissions and building inventory for the Fall show season.
Q. What is your next big goal?
A. I have a few ideas that seem to swim inside my soul until I have an opportunity to try and develop them. I don’t know when I will be able to tackle these “challenges”. But the anticipation is half the fun. It keeps me moving forward. I would also love to take some more intense courses, in figure painting more specifically, but I have not had the opportunity to do so yet.
