| Amy Dawn Kotel Artist, Dancer, Creative, And Community Member AmyDawnSpiritFit@gmail.com http://www.amydawnkotelart.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amy_dawn_kotel_art/ Amy is a multi-Media Creative, based in Northampton, MA. Some might say she/they are an “Outsider artist” others might see them”Visionary artist”, but for her it doesn’t matter. She just creates and creates. In vibrant colors that fill the page, she/they are either creating what they dream of seeing or releasing what needs to be released, so she can be of highest service to herself and others. “Bursting with color, movement, and imagination, Kotel’s work invites viewers into richly layered worlds where countless forms converge to create expansive landscapes, dreamlike narratives, and unexpected connections. Balancing intention with intuition, her paintings explore both the visible and invisible dimensions of experience, reflecting the complexity, beauty, and mystery woven throughout everyday life.” |
