Amy Shekhter is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Florida, originally from Alaska, where she spent the first 20 years of her life. The long, cold winters and extended periods of darkness inspired her to explore the use of unconventional materials to create vibrant, immersive spaces filled with colorful art and captivating designs. After relocating to Florida, Amy earned a Master's Degree in Art Education and spent eight years teaching both public and private school students about the value of art. However, her passion for creating her own work led her to transition into full-time artistry.

Drawing inspiration from diverse cultures, communities, and fashion, Amy blends a variety of materials—such as resin, plexiglass, beads, and glass—to craft intricate, multi-layered pieces. Her artwork often takes on a three-dimensional quality, inviting viewers into a world where each figure is born from distant memories or dreams, influenced by the beauty of nature and the theme of growth. Her work evokes a sense of joy and wonder, encouraging viewers to form their own unique connections with the visual elements presented.
