Amy Volquardsen operates her home studio, Rhythm&Hues, in the heart of the Hocking Hills. She earned a BFA and later a BS in Art Education from Ohio University. Amy has honed her skills in various mediums and art forms over the years including photography, ceramics, pencil drawings and design work with work experience as a photographer, portrait touch up artist and teacher. She also operated her family’s custom framing shop and has been commissioned to draw pencil portraits and tattoos, design album covers, paint murals and portrait photography.

Amy is always looking to broaden the depth of her artistic nature by working with new mediums, learning new techniques and using her skills to create or craft something. Her current artistic expression is through fluid acrylics. Her art focuses on design elements, especially her love of color and pattern, paired with inspiration from nature and music to create canvas paintings with an organic flow. Being practical, Amy also enjoys applying her art to functional pieces such as tables, jars, coasters, charcuterie boards, keepsake boxes, jewelry and guitar bodies and pick guards.

Amy’s work has been sold at local events such as Hippie Fest and Lily Fest. She is a visiting artist at Mud Gallery and a vendor at Keller Market House. She continues to seek opportunities to share her art and commissions are happily accepted.
