Amy Lottes

“As a lifelong creator, I have always been drawn to the transformative power of art. For the past 25 years, I have worked with watercolor, a medium that allows me to explore the delicate balance between control and spontaneity. Through my paintings, I seek to express the personality and essence of my subjects, whether they are landscapes, portraits, animals, or botanicals.

“I am fascinated by color and shadow—their ability to evoke mood, tell a story, and reveal the unique qualities of each subject. With its fluidity and unpredictability, watercolor has been the perfect medium for my journey as an artist. I believe in letting the paint guide me and embracing the unexpected moments arising during the process. Through my paintings, I aim to bring out the subtle beauty and individuality of the world around us, offering a glimpse into the quiet magic of the everyday. Each piece is a celebration of color and the joy of creation.
