2018

Meyer studied art at University of Central Missouri, Indiana State University and received her degree in painting and drawing from Columbia College. She has had the privilege of having her work featured on CNN Online, Les Bourgeois Artisan Wine Label, and in Lake Lifestyles magazine. Her work can be found in private and corporate collections including those of “Water For Elephants” author Sara Gruen, Houser-Millard, Inc. and Family, Hope and Recovery, Inc. Amy Says: "My work has evolved from a start rooted in representation to compositions of non-objective shapes formed by an amalgamation of color, texture, and embedded stencils. The move from realism was driven not by a desire to seek new or more ambiguous subject matter or messages, but in by my artistic curiosity to seek out new and unique methods of working. In doing so, I looked to the work of a number of artists who intrigued me primarily with their use of materials, processes, and technique, including Jasper Johns, Richard Diebenkorn, Grace Hartigan, Robert Natkin, and Conrad Marcarelli, to name a few.
