About the Artist

Hello, and thank you so much for stopping by!

I'm Amelia, an Oregon native, recently moved to a little town in Montana. I grew up with an appreciation for creating, but my introduction to painting was unexpected and special. In 2014, my grandma suggested we try to learn acrylic painting together by following the tv broadcasts of Paint This With Jerry Yarnell. After praying about it, we launched into the experience of purchasing supplies in the style of novices: buying everything that was not neccesary and disregarding most of the items that were fundamental.:) Many studies, messy palettes, and laughs together later, I was quite hooked, and the love and study of it continued to grow in the following years.

I have always found joy in the Lord's creation as a reminder of who He is, and it is my favorite aspect of art that allows me to portray a glimmer of that beauty in a painting. My hope and excitement for the work that I do is to capture a little of that for the viewer; not only the peace and cheer of a landscape painting, but a reminder of who the Master Artist is and the work that He offers to do in our lives through His Son.

P.S.

Outside of painting, a few things I enjoy most in life are adventures with my family, long walks with my dog, horses, gardening, sunsets and starry night skies, photography, good books, and traveling all over the US. What a privilege it is to be able to enjoy these beautiful things in this life, to know God is the Master Creator behind it all, and most of all, to look forward to eternal life with Him someday!
