colorado residency
This Spring, Fountain Valley School invited Amy Wynne to spend one month as an artist in residence on the FVS campus. Amy’s residency was facilitated by Curtis Singmaster, with the purpose of having an artist come live and work at the school, while interacting with and enhancing the artistic endeavors of Fountain Valley’s students.
One of the exercises Amy engaged in throughout her short residency was hand-painting sheets of paper with colors inspired by the prairie and campus, which, for Amy, served as, “an immersion in the sensory environment here [at FVS].
"When I stepped out of the Casita on my first day [at FVS], there was a Spotted Towhee wing on my doorstep. It felt like it had been presented to me, and I had to draw it. This turned into a daily ritual of drawing specimens that manifested…like clues to a mystery unfolding.”
