About AmyGrowing up in Wisconsin, Amy Lloyd knew early on she was destined to search out and discover all that life had to offer. “Live in the moment, you may not be here tomorrow”. What she found was never far from her self, it was painting. Painting was a gift that allowed her to continue her search and further enrich her life. 
"I feel my art should have a connection with real life but at the same time elevate the viewer to a heightened consciousness where beauty, understanding, mystery and emotion coexist." Amy Lloyd is an intuitive artist. Her work stems from an inner desire to create and reflect life. Amy is sensitive to portraiture and chooses to paint in the representational style because of its realness in form, texture and grounded, organic nature. Inspired by travel and people at home and of other cultures, Amy draws upon these experiences in her paintings. She also finds the study of the master’s invaluable; from their technique to their writings, creative drive and how they arrived at their level of achievement. "I pay special attention to painter’s who have created mystery, freedom and sensitivity in their portrait work; Eugene Carriere, Alex Kanevsky, John William Waterhouse, Gustav Klimt, John Singer Sargent and many others."
Having received a Bachelors Degree in Nursing, Masters Degree in Business, and attending art workshops in France, Italy, Idaho and Chicago, she finally arrived at the School of Representation Art (SORA) in Chicago where she completed the four year program. Presently, Amy is a full time painter and a co-founder of Entre' Art Inc., an art studio supporting community arts through art exposure, teaching and web design. She teaches privately, is an instructor at the Kewaunee Academy of Fine Art and also is an assistant icon painter, Imago Inc, of Chicago. "Art and my family is where I resonate. Although my life is full, my journey continues." Amy lives in the Chicago area with her husband Chuck and daughter, Elena.
