Amy’s paintings are intuitive, drawing on inspiration from architecture, nature, and even song lyrics. Her work is controlled and strategic however, there's always an element of surprise when she torches the wax. This plays perfectly on her conflicting need for structure and spontaneity. The surfaces she creates look delicate, yet they have endured a layered history of heating and scraping. Van Winkle’s paintings are a visual representation and diary of her personal journey and explorations as she navigates the world.
