About the Artist
Amy Ringholz's artistic motto is, "Follow your joy." In 2002, she moved from Ohio to Jackson Hole, and worked at a historic dude ranch while she built an identity in the art world. Her unique process, drawing in ink and then adding rich colors, brings to life her renditions of the animal kingdom. Her work is found in galleries in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Austin, Texas, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Park City, Utah, and Scottsdale, Arizona. "I am delighted watching my audience grow, and I feel privileged to see my work impact so many people," Ringholz said. "Staying true to myself as an artist involves making the work, pushing it, expanding it, embellishing it, and taking it where it leads me. I live each day grateful for my extraordinary life, and eager to give back."
Artist Questions
What artist inspires you? Why?
I am always looking for something fresh and loose and raw in the art world. A masterful painting can take a very long time, but sometimes in those hours, a piece can be reworked to death. While I appreciate the patience and dedication of meticulus work, I believe that true genius lies in the line that never needs to be touched again. Trying to reveal that life in a painting is why I continue to pursue my love affair with artmaking.
How do you come up with an idea for a new piece of artwork?
Usually an image, or a color, or a pattern, will spark an interest in me, and the minute I pick up a piece of charcoal, or a can of spray paint, or tube filled with ink, I know that the piece will lead the way for me.
Where is the most inspirational place you've visited lately?
My mind. It understands things instinctually. For instance, I understand color like a best friend, and there are good days and bad days with your friend, but you always know who they are. However the challenge of keeping myself excited and lit up inside is intoxicating. The bravery that goes into making a piece that exposes yourself is exhausting. Problem solving, gambling, and gut instincts can create an inspired high, and from that place ... masterpieces are made.
