Amy Jarvis - Eyes
Amy Jarvis is a painter whose keen sense of color and lighting gives her work a recognized grace and emotion. In addition to commissioned pet portraits, Amy recently completed a series of nine oil paintings of mythical women from across continents and throughout the centuries, weaving fact, fiction and legend, that were featured in a solo show titled: The Mythics. Amy’s yoga practice keeps her grounded and connected to a creative life and she says it gives her a deeper way of listening and seeing. During our conversation Amy and I discuss boundaries and sandhill cranes and ponder the question: do men wear leggings?
