Nationally known artist Amy Moglia Heuerman has her feet planted in two worlds: She is a prolific painter as well as the owner of two galleries that showcase her work, one in Naples, Fla., and the other in Bay Harbor, Mich. Both galleries include studio space where Amy creates her colorful and uplifting canvases. She expresses her broad vision in a range of styles, while all of her work is unmistakably hers. Her wingspan is expansive. She paints inspiring seascapes, dynamic abstracts, her popular “girl” series, and impressionistic florals. She paints until she reaches a positive moment and visitors to her galleries admire her joyful, sun-lit flooded spaces.

Amy Moglia Heuerman ARTIST STATEMENT

I paint in a variety of styles, while hoping the work maintains a look that represents me. I paint abstract expressionism, coastals, loose florals and a series of girls. I begin by painting the entire canvas cadmium red. Then I layer paint to capture hidden stories. I try to end when the story is at a happy, uplifting place.

When I look at a person, I may see a pretty face, a colorful outfit, and some killer shoes. But what my heart sees is different. I see a soul that has loved, hated, hurt, felt accomplished, and a multitude of experiences that make that person who they are. This is what I want to put in my paintings, not just a surface of paint, but history. I want the painting to have layers of feelings and strokes that make it what it is. I want it to make people feel. I always say, “The heart sees more than the eyes.”
