Amy Winstanley’s work merges observations with intuitive mark-making to create her ethereal abstractions. In her process, she oscillates between spontaneous gestures and conscious painterly expressions. She creates space through layers of oil paint and builds shapes and colors that immerse the viewer into a place where there is merely a suggestion of reality. Winstanley uses painting to think through her personal experiences of love, loss, and the act of painting itself—the movement of her hand and paintbrush on the canvas that creates something from nothing.
