Artist Profile

Amy Shekhter

Amy Shekhter is an american artist with specialization in collage and resin. She describes this artwork as “I see this work as an insight into a happy memory, a childhood dream, or even a place that is an escape from reality. It is seeking joy through the beauty of nature or manmade objects, each color and texture holding a different meaning. It is about connecting oneself to nature in a specific moment in time. Using various materials, I create different textures and depth to give each element its own importance.
A cement bird frozen in time, layered beaded necklaces that bring the subject to life, the viewer can feel her confidence. The use of hand cast colored resin flowers that will never die mirror those personal experiences that one keeps for a lifetime.
With this work I hope to bring the viewer a sense of joy and wonder while also having them construct a personal connection using various elements. I believe there is a childlike aspect in embracing the little things that bring us happiness.”
