I have painted dozens of murals in various homes and businesses, both interior and exterior, and yet every mural I have created is 100% unique and custom-designed. Each custom mural is an opportunity to personalize and adapt to my client’s own space, style and story. In addition to murals, I create paintings of all sizes, but mostly gravitate toward square compositions. My paintings are done in a contemporary realism style, mostly still lifes evoking nostalgia. "Still life" is a noun that refers to a work of art that depicts an arrangement of inanimate objects, such as a bowl of fruit. The subjects that you’ll find in my paintings are usually vintage, with a heavy draw glass, rust, aged wood, and vintage graphics and lettering grouped together to illustrate a story.

You may be in need of a custom decorating solution for your space. Or you’ve been inspired to look for some original artwork to adorn your home or office. Either way, you are a creative person looking to “illustrate” your life by connecting with an artist who can bring your dreams to fruition. I can help you express yourself visually, and add that missing piece to the environment you are looking to create. I hope that my art style speaks to you! However, even if it doesn’t, my mission is to help guide you to finding art that speaks to you. My hope is to remove the stigma and mystique out of purchasing original art, and how to display it in your home and workspace. Original art is not reserved for the elite, it is accessible and approachable. You will feel more empowered to purchase it and display it when armed with a few tried and true techniques.

Alphabets

When I was a little girl, in the mid-seventies, I had a fabric wall-hanging over my bed, on which was appliqued alphabet letters and next to each one was a pocket, containing an object beginning with that letter. In an age of little to no technology (and admittedly always a creative, introverted child) I spent a lot of time playing with my tiny stuffed alphabet toys, taking them in and out of their respective pockets. I also recall the classrooms of my youth, adorned with alphabet cards as learning aids, displayed above the chalkboard. These alphabets were my inspiration for the development of my own line of illustrated alphabet cards which can be displayed spelling words or names, in a variety of themes. Each theme tells a story, one letter at a time.

Prints

Signed prints are available of selected original works. Printing is done on high quality Epson cold press paper. This is an acid-free, 100% cotton rag media with a bright, mildly textured matte finish. Prints, when purchased, arrive unframed and with a white border, sufficient to either accommodate a coordinating matte, or left as-is. A heartfelt thanks to Editions Printing, Rochester, New York, for working with me and providing exceptional service. I’m so happy to have found such a delightful local printer to work with. Working with a local printer allows me the advantage of physically reviewing each proof and making sure the colors from the original art are calibrated correctly. I feel as though you will be very pleased with purchasing a print!

Your life is a beautiful story;
how are you illustrating it?

I'm Amy Colburn, I have been an illustrator and mural artist for over 30 years. I sell my own original paintings and prints.

I hope you like my art and buy it! Regardless, I hope my tips will help you feel empowered to buy art that is meaningful to you.

I share tips on how to decorate the walls of your home and workspaces using a mindful approach. I guide you in choosing original 2-D art that intrigues, inspires, and speaks to your unique style and story.

I help demystify art-buying so that you can be proud to display art that infuses positive energy in your space, makes you happy, reflects your personal style, and illustrates your unique story.

Many people adorn their walls mindlessly, because blank walls are intimidating, and buying art is scary. Without having a positive emotional connection to the art with which you choose to decorate, you risk choosing art for your walls that can deplete the energy from your room.

Many hours are spent choosing furniture, flooring and fixtures, and yet, wall art is often overlooked. You don't have to resort “big box chain store” art because you are intimidated by galleries. By using this approach, you can be proud to display art in your home and be confident that it reflects your style and illustrates your unique story.
