Amy Hill Imler
Acrylic on Paper
Late 20th/Early 21st Century
Amy Hill Imler is a water-based media and collage artist and dedicated art teacher. She received her formal training at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, Ohio, where she earned a four-year degree in design in 1969. Shortly after, she was commissioned to illustrate a twenty-volume set of Children’s Books entitled “Creative Activities Program” published by Children’s Press.
Amy moved to Arkansas in 1975 and began painting wildlife and natural images attracting the attention of both corporate and private buyers and Arkansas watercolor organizations. She became President of Mid-South Watercolor in 1989, allowing her to not only share her knowledge through guidance and teaching but to also learn from other artists.
Presently, Amy works primarily non-objectively using water-based mediums and collage. She is continuously growing – employing a variety of experimental ideas and techniques, which infuse her works with excitement and emotion. Amy shares, “I think of thoughts as images. When I begin to paint, I focus on these feelings, through music and meditation. On this particular painting I was working on a series of nature related colors and shapes. I use thin layers of acrylic and texture. It may take up to twenty layers to get the desired effect that I want.” She continues, “I am pleased to be sharing a part of myself with you, knowing that in time and space we have met.” Amy lives in North Little Rock, AR.
