Every one of us has a story, unique and ongoing. Our stories live on through written words, images, designs, and symbols. These stories are intertwined with the places that become part of our narratives, each holding its own tale…
Amelia Furman’s work is driven by a deep love of storytelling and a desire to connect personal stories with the ever-changing landscapes around us. By layering text, photographs, maps, and symbols, she brings the story of a place to life while using oil paint to capture the fleeting nature of time. Her transparent glazes, expressive strokes, and detailed touches invite viewers to explore the underlying layers and discover parts of their own stories within the art.
“Our lives create a layered, beautiful story filled with places, people, and experiences, both the good and the bad, both the seen and the unseen.”
For Amelia, painting is a way to navigate life’s chaos. She channels the stress of juggling schedules, relationships, and the demands of daily life into her studio work. As she arranges pieces in her collage backgrounds, she finds order and truth, regaining her center. Each piece she creates helps her understand and organize the messy, beautiful complexity of life.
Nature plays a vital role in Amelia’s art, helping her uncover deep truths. When painting a vast open sky, she feels a sense of belonging. Painting the grasses reminds her she is cared for and not alone. Through her oil paints, she assembles scenes that reflect a love that encompasses imperfections and failures, providing a space for peace and acceptance.
Amelia hopes her work offers more than just visual appeal. She wants viewers to find a moment of reflection and connection, a chance to see the harmony and beauty in life’s dissonance. Her art serves as a constant reminder of the transcendent beauty in the world, inviting you to discover the intersection of your own story with the stories she paints.
Her latest collection of original pieces will be unveiled at our next virtual art show “Beyond Beautiful“, which opens on August 15th at 10am MDT. The show will close on August 17th at 6pm MDT. Be sure to create your free Collector Account early so you are prepared for the show open!
