About the Artist

Amy Adams, AIS

Amy Adams is a third-generation oil painter whose work blends a rich family creative legacy with formal training from the University of Puget Sound and the Art Students League of Denver. After a successful initial career as an award-winning graphic designer and illustrator, she transitioned fully to fine art in 2011.

Since relocating to Central Ohio, Amy has become a mainstay of the local art community. Represented by the Sharon Weiss Gallery, she works out of the 24 Lincoln Street Art Studios in Columbus' Short North Arts District. Her paintings have been featured in juried exhibitions nationwide, and she served as the 2022–2023 Artist in Residence for the New Albany Symphony.

In 2025, her work was selected for both the American Impressionist Society and the Oil Painters of America National Exhibitions, culminating in her receiving Signature Status from the American Impressionist Society (AIS) in December 2025.
