Amy Whitman

Amy Whitman (b. Hanover, PA ,1963) is a self taught artist who primarily focuses on contemporary figurative art. After early careers as a kindergarten teacher, pediatric therapist, and raising her family, she now devotes her full time to making art. She has developed a body of work that incorporates her original technique of blending patterns and details into her figures.

Amy's work has been shown in juried exhibitions and is held by private collectors from coast to coast. Her first solo show, "Figure, Fashion & Fame", debuted at Dacia Gallery in NYC during Fashion Week in Feb 2019.
Amy lives and works in Madison, NJ.


Artist Statement -
