Amy Webber is a
Sarasota Florida resident since 1980. She was
originally from Illinois . After graduating from
Illinois State University with a degree in
commercial art she moved out west, spending many
years as a freelance artist. She spent time
experiencing Arizona , Colorado and Wyoming country
sides, studying nature and the incredible
views. Many times you would find her at the base of
a lake with a mountain view or in the desert hills
painting or drawing. The west has a large influence
in her artwork. She loves the western landscape.
Having a restless nature, she moved around the west
until in 1980 when she came to Sarasota Florida for
a two-week vacation and decided to stay.
Amy began to study architecture and has spent over a
decade in the design field. One day while looking
for an experience to share with her small son she
signed up for a ceramic class. That was like giving
water to a flower for her. She had found a missing
link within herself, finding a creative expression
endless through clay. It did not stop there with
ceramics though; by the clay pieces needing to be
photographed, another creative outlet opened up. Her
love of nature inspires her to photograph it and
what she sees through the camera comes through. Clay
allows her to combine her love of photography and
painting. Amy continues to pursue her passion for
creative expression through the arts. Being so
versatile allows her to explore the endless
possibilities of using different mediums. She is
always looking for new ways to experiment ideas in
the potential of various mediums.
