Explore The Work Of New York Artist Amy Wickersham

Step inside Amy Wickersham’s studio, a small barn in the backyard of her Sag Harbor village home, and you’ll find dyed silks hanging in the sunlight and shadows shifting on the walls. “It’s like watching a movie in color when the light dances across my fabrics,” shares the artist, who creates delicate yet striking paintings by hand-dyeing silks and applying them to canvas. After years in New York City, she hadn’t anticipated the “shift in focus and energy” that moving out East would bring. “There’s this interface with nature and an amazing artistic community,” she continues. “Here, my interior world is my focus.”

Wickersham, whose work can be viewed locally at Onna House, Folioeast and more, can also be reached on Instagram to arrange private studio visits. All facets of her practice, including a recent segue into small-scale sculpture, are inspired by fragments of her daily experience, be it “a sunset, a starry sky—or even laundry hanging on the line.”
