Amy Dixon is an artist whose paintings radiate energy, joy, and spontaneity. Her bold brushwork, rich textures, and vibrant palette reflect her deep love for life and creativity. Dixon’s canvases are alive with movement, layered with color that is sometimes opaque, sometimes translucent, and always expressive.
Dixon approaches a painting as she does life—intuitively, with free expression. She believes that “anything is possible if the art spirit is right.” Inspiration comes from direct observation of the world around her and a keen understanding of what works on canvas. She draws from color, form, mood, light, music, conversation, and dreams to create pieces that are immediate, emotive, and deeply personal. Her work explores harmony and chaos, peace and passion, laughter and contemplation—all the complexities of life translated into paint.
A student of Newcomb College at Tulane University, Dixon further honed her artistic voice through post-graduate study in Florence, Italy, and workshops with renowned artists Wolf Kahn and Kim English. She describes her artistic process as a continuous conversation with color, often punctuated by what she calls “dump color”—a surprising, bold contrast that enlivens her compositions.
Her love of travel and sense of adventure fuel her creativity, with places like Venice inspiring her deeply: “The whole city seems to be moored on a sea of timeless beauty.” Whether revisiting familiar subjects or exploring new inspirations, Dixon’s art is an ongoing celebration of life.
Born and raised in Monroe, Louisiana, Dixon now lives in Denver with her family (including a very spoiled Golden Retriever), where she continues to create paintings that embody her infectious joie de vivre and passion for artistic expression.
