In September 2010, Amy will be presenting additional work at the 20th European Early Childhood Education Research Association Annual Conference in Birmingham, England. She is concentrating her studio time on a new series of sculptures in marble and other stone that she started in September 2009. She expanded this work during a stone-carving workshop in Carrara, Italy during June 2010 and will bring those pieces back to New York City for finishing. Amy also sculpts in various other media from wire to recyclable materials. In addition, Amy has been creating original jewelry designs in stone and silver since 2000 which she considers small and wearable sculpture. She also enjoys dabbling in collage, print-making, painting, and mixed media. Amy’s work has been shown in both private and public exhibitions in New York and Pennsylvania, where she has won awards and accolades for her jewelry designs. In her teaching, Amy strives to expand the students’ notions of what art can be and what materials can be used to make art. She continually collects non-traditional materials for her students to explore and extend through their art-making. For Amy, the best part of teaching is facilitating the development of the creative process and watching her students discover their artistic abilities.
