Meet Artist Amy Bultena


Amy Bultena






Amy Bultena’s work is about control amid chaos. Amy grew up surrounded by the thick vegetation of the woods where plants grow wild and unfettered. Yet, to the careful, observant eye a sort of order emerges, a calm amid the commotion. As someone who lives everyday with mental illness, Amy deeply appreciates watching other organisms find clarity in turmoil. Observing plants steadily grow according to their own rhythms and needs gives her a desperately needed sense of peace. It also reinforces the concept that what feels chaotic and difficult may actually just be a (beautiful) pattern of growth.  The lessons Amy finds in observing plants is what she seeks to share with her paintings. Amy observes plants growing wild, contained, and/or cut, and translates the reassuring peace and beauty she finds amid the disarray.
