Amy Abshier (American, b. 1974)

As a painter there are times when I’m working, perfectly at peace and almost outside myself, and then everything seems to fall into place effortlessly, like the painting is just creating itself. It’s magic happening, it must be.

There’s a sisterhood to this body of work; the subjects come from a place of contemplation and the awareness of what it means to be a woman, to be a strong and magical presence in this world.

Even though the figures are not kinetic, there is an energy they share that’s just below the surface, understated but there. It glimmers softly, waiting for the right person to walk up and see it there.

It’s an ordinary magic; something in you recognizes it but maybe you can’t articulate exactly what it is. It just speaks to you.

Represented by Blue Gallery since 2005, Amy Abshier-Reyes was raised on the Texas Gulf Coast, in a small farming and ranching community. She moved to Kansas City, MO to attend classes at the Kansas City Art Institute, where she received her bachelor’s degree in fine art in 1997. Amy currently lives and paints in Kansas City, MO, and her work can be found in numerous corporate and private collections nationwide.

Cerbera Gallery Presents: “LOW HANGING FRUIT” | Solo Exhibition by Jolynn Reigeluth

State of the Union 2020

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

Friend or Foe?

Through a tongue in cheek lens, Reigeluth examines the plight of everyday humans who are largely worried, embarrassed, disappointed, and burned-out. Reigeluth considers her recent works as introspective self-portraits that aim to shed light on the untold internal monologues with which we are so often preoccupied. 

The Three DISgraces – Jolynn Reigeluth

Her artistic practice is driven by a love for the physical act of drawing, and a desire to create images and objects that provide peculiar emotional and sensorial experiences.

Bats in the Belfry

Regrets

Dandy Discomfiture – Jolynn Reigeluth

The imagery is fueled by humor and spontaneity and is filled with an inventiveness and ambiguity of subject that ranges from cheekily adolescent to darkly absurd.

The Whole Truth – Jolynn Reigeluth
