Quality Affordable Art
Original Paintings.....Commissions.....Abstracts.....Landscapes
Ami Brown, artist
I've been practicing art for more than 20 years. I enjoy painting many styles, using unique textures and materials. Mixing and blending colors inspires me. Letting go of all inhibitions, letting the painting take shape and has a life of it's own. I never know where I may end up, but I'm always delighted to find out. I do not believe in creating cheap art, all my work is created with quality paints on exhibition style canvases to last a lifetime.
I started out drawing animals, and nature scenes. As I got older, I sketched portraits, and then started using oil paints. I commissioned hundreds of oil portraits, people, animals and kids.
My true love is abstract art and subtle impressionistic colourful works full of depth and textures.
I lived in New Zealand from 2005 - 2015, and opened my own gallery in Thorndon, Wellington CBD in 2011. I now paint full time, which has been a dream of mine! Please visit the gallery for lots of great cool artwork! I recently moved back to the US and am based out of Southport, NC - where I have a small studio in my home. I plan to open a co-op gallery soon!
I am available for commissioned work or possibly have some stock available for purchase.
