About the Artist:
My Name is AmyLyn Bihrle. I am currently a full time Self-Representing Artist & Free Lance Illustrator in New York. I have a degree in Graphic Design & Advertising. My paintings are self taught and now found world wide in both personal and commercial collections. I also offer miniature sized works of art, known as ACEO's (Art Card Editions & Originals) that have become a very popular way of collecting or purchasing works of art.
I work with oil, acrylic, Pen & Ink, Gouache, or Watercolor. Occasionally I use prismacolor pencil, pastels and mixed media. I am always experimenting or trying something new.
Aside from my abstract paintings, my subjects involve animals, landscapes and florals but I try not to limit myself to a particular subject or genre. I always experiment to find something new and out of the ordinary. Some of my works portray realism with a twist of fantasy while others are comical in nature. I enjoy painting landscapes, floral arrangements, wildlife or abstract art.
For me...art needs to be personal, uninhibited....unbridled. It has to come from within. My art either exposes the distinct, realistic and meticulous side of me....or the visionary, ethereal and spiritual side. What one sees and another does not in my work....is the beauty of what defines us at work. You may find something in my paintings that will prompt a question of "How can that be?" or "Is there really such a thing?". My work is not so much what we actually see, but more of what we would love to see or could only imagine.
My gift can only be exercised to it's highest potential when it is my own imagination at work. Dreams and life experiences inspire my imagination, my imagination stimulates creativity within my heart, my heart then sets the direction of my art. I feel blessed with a gift that allows me to express myself and share a part of me to the world. My minds imagination, my hearts love, and my hands creative direction are guided by the greatest artist of all from above. I thank him daily and I thank all my friends, family and collectors world wide that continuously support me and my work.
God Bless +
