Amy Shekhter

Amy Shekhter is a multi-disciplinary artist living in Florida. She spent the first 20 years of her life growing up in Alaska, which has many months of cold and darkness. This inspired her to use unconventional materials to create a space indoors filled with colorful art and interesting designs.Guided by her fascination with different cultures, communities, and fashion, Amy merges digital design with various materials and textures. Layers of media, such as resin castings, plexiglass, beads and glass are carefully placed to give each artwork a three dimensional (3-D) appearance. Each figure is imagined from a distant memory or dream and inspired by the beauty of nature and growth, giving the viewer a sense or joy and wonder while also having them construct their own connection from the various visual elements.
