Sip & Shop - Amy Brnger at Bell Farm Shops

She has painted still life, flowers, and landscape for as long as she has been an artist.  The three genres have always interested her, mainly because she uses nature as a vehicle, or an excuse, to paint, and she enjoys painting places and things in which she is familiar or curious. With her interiors, still life and landscape are often paired together, as both influence one another equally, in her mind.  These subjects are strongly related, since the kinds of still life objects she often chooses to paint are themselves directly derived from the landscape: flowers; leaves; fruits and vegetables; bird's nests, etc. She also enjoys painting flowers and food on their own.  All images are painted rapidly, in an effort to capture the changing nature of organic forms.

Her landscape paintings are also a way to record and enjoy the region where she resides.   The seacoast region of NH is made up of varying vistas: small neighborhoods; cities; towns; woods; some beautiful and some ugly.   Her world is representative of many similar places in the United States, yet it is special to her.   She enjoys being outside and painting, whatever the image, as she is immersed with the places in which she is most familiar.
