Biography

Painter Amy White is a 30 year resident of Haddam, CT. After running a successful sign business for almost 25 years, she now concentrates exclusively on painting. Amy enjoys working with oils and acrylics, painting en plien air. Her subjects include still life, pet portraits and flowers.

Amy frequently exhibits her work through The New Haven Paint and Clay Club, Middletown Art League, Clinton Art Association, Brownstone Art Association, Southington Arts and Crafts, East Hampton Art Association, Essex Art Association, The Alliance of Haddam Artists, and the East Haddam Art League.

She excelled in art as a child and was recognized for her talent at all grade levels. Following two years of study at Southern Connecticut State University in Art, the sudden death of her father prompted her decision to leave school and look for work. After her employment at several sign shops on the Shoreline, Amy opened her own sign business in 1988. She became proficient at hand lettering and guilding on vehicles and boats. Amy is noted for her brushwork and airbrush mural techniques.

Specific mural applications include the door of Greenwich’s Rescue Truck, depicting the Mianus River Bridge collapse and the infamous green witch riding a Hurst tool across a full moon, several ambulances for the Mashentucket Pequot Indian Reservation, an Americas Cup boat, Randy Lajoie’s ill-fated car for the Daytona 500 in 1984 and one boat in a fleet of Jimmy Buffett’s fishing boats. Amy was especially honored to gold leaf the names of the deceased 9/11 first responders to Tower One on a new fire truck the Department received to replace the one that was destroyed.
