AMY DRYER / CALGARY, AB

Amy’s gestural style - characteristic of German Expressionism - emphasizes the subjective expression of inner experiences. The truest picture of a moment occurs in a balanced abstraction of everyday perspectives. This creates a field of view that is both familiar and enigmatic.

Amy Dryer attended the Alberta College of Art and Design, the Glasgow School of Art and the Fine Art program at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. Publications include Avenue Magazine as Calgary's Best and Top 40 Under 40 issue. She's completed artist residencies at Emma Lake, Saskatchewan, The Banff Centre, Alberta, Reykjavik, Iceland, and Germany. Amy's paintings are in a number collections throughout Canada and the US, including the Alberta Foundation.
