About the Item

A Rhode Island native, I earned a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. Since then I’ve worked as a freelance artist, decorative painter, teacher and master painter at a folk art company. In 2006 I made the transition back to painting full time. I’m fascinated with the human form and the way a thought or feeling is suggested in a stance or look. I have a skill and passion for portraiture and paint regularly from a live model which strengthens all my paintings. Water and swimming are constants in my life. And while I may paint from a place of remembered experience, these paintings are stories told in gesture, palette, and posture of the subject. They are meant to invite the memories, dreams and feelings of you, the viewer.

''The Crinaeae'' Contemporary Underwater Portrait Painting, Girls in Pool
By Amy Devlin
Located in Utrecht, NL
Amy Devlin portrays people, animals, or nature in her works. But what really matters to her is light and water, which she wants to capture in the form of a physical memory. By following her passion for paint, she tries to represent reality and thereby express her feeling in the expressive colors she uses. Her paintings show a fascination with the movement and texture of water, which is depicted in vivid colors in her works. Her hybrid painting style combines realism with impressionism in a very interesting way, providing a different view of the world and our memories of it. Devlin loves the unexpected, looks at things from a crazy angle and imagines. Since 2014 she mainly paints underwater portraits...
