Artist's Statement - Amy Compton
Amy Compton is an Australian artist based in nipaluna/Hobart. Her vibrant abstract floral pieces are created to spark joy and happiness in the viewers' lives. Working intuitively, Amy builds her paintings through multiple layers, skillfully incorporating acrylic paints, mixed media and thoughtfully selected collage elements.
Amy’s artistic process embraces the dynamic interplay between shapes, colours, lines and textures, creating a visual conversation within each composition. Her signature colour palette—featuring harmonious combinations of pinks, blues and greens—evokes the natural beauty of her surroundings while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic appeal.
Drawing inspiration from the breathtaking landscapes of lutruwita/Tasmania, Amy works on both paper and canvas to capture the essence of her island home. Her abstract interpretations invite viewers to experience familiar environments through a fresh perspective, encouraging personal connection and emotional response.
