About Amy

Amy Graham is a wanderer with a need to react to the various worlds she experiences through visual vocabulary. In recent years, Amy has worked with abstraction, whimsy, the poetry of music and lyrics, films, family, friends, food, the ocean, and the undeniable romance of New York City life. Amy is inspired by grandeur, by the quotidian, and by suburban kitsch. Amy accesses observation, memory, and time: her work addresses permanence, the ephemeral, and the endless gray areas that exist between the two.

Amy is a proud graduate of The Fay School and Groton School, both in Massachusetts. She earned a BA in Environmental Design and Painting from the University of Pennsylvania, a BFA in Dance from Smith College, and an MFA in Painting and Art History from The University of Chicago. A passionate traveller and life-long learner, Amy is a teacher and administrator at Trinity School in New York City.
