Amy Block

Amy graduated with a BFA in Selected Studies through Syracuse University’s School for Visual and Performing Arts in 1978 studying studio arts, ceramics, and special education. She also attended Widener University’s Master program in Special Education several years later.

Amy utilized her studio arts and clay background to design and implement creative curriculum as a teacher of special needs students. She continued this work as a supervisor for a day program for adults with cognitive and physical disabilities for several years and currently continues to teach pottery classes at several Adult Day Programs for special needs as well as holding clay workshops.

Amy creates artwork that celebrates nature’s beauty and music. Her ceramic pieces and paintings explore natural shapes, colors and textures, embodying the energy of movement and light found in nature. She is inspired by the organic forms and patterns present in the environment around her as well as the power of music and song, and is passionate about transferring these into her work.
