Amy Valiante’s art journey started at a young age as an art major at the Walnut Hill School of the performing arts. From there a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration was obtained at Syracuse University. Her paintings consist of landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes, animals and still-life subjects. She enjoys inviting the viewer to see the wonder of a scene or subject. Every piece has brought Amy comfort in knowing she will bring the viewer serenity. Painting with acrylics on a smooth canvas allows the artist to paint with illustratively realistic brush strokes. She uses delicate glazes to create depth and luminosity in her work. During the process there is a push and pull for light, dark and mid tone hues adjusting them as she goes until they are exactly the way she intends them to be.

Her work has been selected from 200 people across the region to be on exhibit at the Gallery66 in New Britain CT. Other exhibits include the Monastery Gallery in West Hartford CT, Aqua Turf Convention Center Shows in Southington CT and local Apple festival and Strawberry Art Shows in Monroe CT.

Artwork is completed upon commission if necessary. Amy also teaches adult and child painting sessions as one on one and group settings.
