Amy Drews

Amy is an abstract artist shaped by the rugged beauty of Colorado and Oregon. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Print Media before beginning her career as a web and graphic designer in the publishing industry. She went on to establish SimplyFine Design in Portland, where she ran a successful web design studio for more than fifteen years.

Her work has been juried into exhibitions throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington, featured in galleries, and collected privately across the United States.

Amy loves the freedom she's found in the spontaneous nature of abstraction and the tangible joy of working with materials, color mixing, and mark making.

"My paintings reflect a celebration of bold pigments and textures. I use a vibrant palette to highlight the expressive language of color. Painting intuitively, I build up and scrape back layers to reveal hidden gems.

I am drawn to the juxtaposition between movement and stillness, combining dynamic areas with unassuming space. I'm inspired by shapes found in both natural and urban settings, and how time and weather affect them."
