Amy Silberkleit is an artist in the Northern Catskills. Her work is based on the forests, mountains, roads, trails and natural objects found near her home. The extraordinary beauty of the region, the variety of plants, forms and textures, the dramatic changes from season to season are an inexhaustible source of subjects for her work. She draws detailed landscapes on limestone blocks and hand-prints limited editions in her lithography studio. The tonal range made possible by the lithography stone’s fine texture lends itself perfectly to highly detailed representational drawings. Amy has a B.A. in printmaking and a Certificate in Natural Science Art and Illustration from the New York Botanical Gardens. Her drawings and prints have been exhibited in juried shows, galleries and museums, including the Arkell Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art Gallery Store and the Albany Institute, which has two of her pieces in its permanent collection. Her awards include the John Noble Lithography Award from SAGA; the Woodstock Artist Association and Museum Annual Print Edition and Sheila Bloodgood awards;, the Deborah Geurtze Award for Printmaking, Cooperstown Art Association. Amy is a member of the Society of American Graphic Artists and an Active Member of The Woodstock Artists Association.
