Scholar to Creator: The Art of Making Artists with Amy Kells

Amy Kells is one of 1980's longest running artists and an unfiltered, wide-open-throttle creative to her core. Believing that all people possess an artistic drive from birth, she never saw herself going that direction as a child. But a combination of skill, fortunate intervention, and having tested alternative waters eventually led her to pivot halfway through school from academia to a fine arts degree. Whether it's her own practice, nurturing the education of the next generation of art students, coordinating artists for live painting events, showcasing her skills to stoke the crowd, or leading art workshops, Amy lives her philosophy: "I don't make art so much as I make artists."
