Amy Dallas

Amy Dallas says, "As an artist, I create with the oldest medium known to humans: Stone. Specifically, I work in marble and granite. By sand carving marble and granite tiles, I create low relief two-dimensional art forms. My etchings employ minimalist, linear, feminine forms, the softness of which, contrasts with the hardness of the stone.

The tiles are decorative, and come ready to hang with a plate holder on the back.

Producing the tiles starts with the designing process. All designs are original in concept. My designs are influenced by my travels abroad, my interest in female divinity (or goddesses), and the simple line drawings of Matisse and Picasso. These unique processes have been self-taught, with a lot of experimentation! However, I owe my fine art training to my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and my marble knowledge to the Marble Institute of Colorado."
