Amy Wilson Mixed Media
American, b. 1973
Amy Wilson received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York, in 1995 and her MFA from Yale University in 1997. Her drawings explore the tensions between her inner life and the exterior world, incorporating personal stories and observations along with commentary about current events both personal and newsworthy. Her small-scale watercolor drawings, etchings, and books feature tiny, hand-written texts and an ever-changing cast of talkative girls. Wilson has had solo shows at BravinLee Programs, Bellwether Gallery, MoMA-PS1, and The Drawing Center, and has participated in group exhibitions at PS1/MOMA, The Drawing Center, Josee Bienvenue Gallery, and the Grolier Club (all in New York) and the Pera Museum (Istanbul). She teaches drawing and art history at the School of Visual Arts, New York.to

Whether I am working on the watercolor and acrylic pieces, or fiber-based pieces, every project and every idea begins with a drawing. Through that process I lay out my ideas, ask myself questions, experiment with different options, and try to resolve all the formal and conceptual issues I will attempt in my final piece.
The themes I have explored in my work from 1999 on, and even before then, have remained the same even though my style has shifted radically. I have been interested in exploring self-portraiture, personal narratives, femininity, politics, and the use of text in art. I have remained constant in my exploration of critical theory and art history, and drawn influence from artists as diverse as Joseph Beuys, Henry Darger, and Adrian Piper...
