Studio 14 in Madrid, NM recently celebrated its first year in business! Amy has been with the gallery since it opened and is still thrilled to be a part of this fabulous, fun, contemporary art gallery. If you are not familiar with the quirky, artsy town of Madrid, New Mexico (pronounced mad-drid) on the Turquoise Trailyou can read a bit about it in these great articles in The Denver Food & Wine Scene & The Oregonian. (Watch the video at the bottom of The Oregonian article carefully at ~35 seconds in, they pan past Amy’s wall!)
About Amy:
Amy got her Ph.D. in Biology in ’06 but also had training in Fine Art photography and a strong desire to pursue her creative side in a more tangible fashion. When her husband Stefan mentioned starting up a business in photography, an old love was rekindled, and she supported him with vigor and enthusiasm. Amy is active in supporting and promoting the arts, and is currently the Vice President of CSA/New Mexico Artists’ Market.
You can find her work on display (and for sale) at the Albuquerque Photographer’s Gallery, The Range Cafe in both ABQ & Bernalillo, NM, Studio 14 in Madrid, NM, and online at amyditto.com. Call her at 505.286.1127, or contact her online via her artist website with inquiries regarding purchase!
