Amy Jarvis is an artist living in Mequon, Wisconsin. Born to an artistic family, her father was a commercial photographer and her mother a fashion designer, she has always been surrounded by creativity and innovation that soaked deep into her spirit and outlook. An urban dweller most of her life, she also has a love and developed eye for natural settings and animals that are reflected in her art.
Amy graduated from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD) with a degree in Illustration. She spent years working as a Digital Photo Retoucher in the Milwaukee area and her keen sense of color and lighting made her highly sought after for her vibrant work.
This same sense of colors and their interactions with light, along with a skilled and artistic talent for effective use of the background to enhance the image give her paintings a recognized grace and emotion.
Jarvis has exhibited at Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts in Fond du Lac and at Sadler Gallery in Milwaukee’s Third Ward. Currently, working on some Nature themed work and commission work, feel free to email on a price list for pet portraits or your vision of anything you’d like to be immortalized in paint. Let’s see what we can create.
