JUROR - Amelia Furman:
Amelia Furman grew up in rural, central Pennsylvania amidst pastoral scenes of farms, fields, and forests. Nature has captured her attention for as long as she can remember. Visual arts were also a dominant force in her life from an early age. After graduating with a degree in visual art from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2003, she began to explore how she could use paint to express her love of the natural world.
Amelia's background in printmaking and illustration has heavily influenced the direction of her work. She works in a combination of paper collage, text and thin layers of acrylic paint. Using a selection of documents, vintage images, handwritten text, and symbols associated with the painted image, she reminds the viewer that places and objects have many layers of meaning, memory, and beauty.
Amelia's work is displayed throughout the United States and can be found in private and corporate collections nationwide. Some of her most recent clients have been Nemours/Dupont Children's Hospital, Danella Construction, Larimer County, the city of Loveland, Philadelphia Macaroni Company, and Thrivent Financial. Along with running her own professional art business, Amelia volunteers as Director of Exhibitions for the Loveland Artists Collective. She is on the Board of Directors for the Loveland Art Studio Tour and participates in many community art events to help awaken creativity in those around her.
Amelia calls Loveland, Colorado home, and lives with her husband and two sons.

"Life is about layers creating a whole and my work exudes this same idea.I have been enamored with creating, problem solving, and the artistic manipulation of materials since childhood. My mother can attest to my intense focus as I would take my everyday surroundings and attempt to turn them into the world I saw so vividly in my mind.
As my artistic vision developed, I felt compelled to deepen my understanding of the multi-layered relationships between places, people, feelings, and objects. Since I function on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels, I feel my artwork should do the same. I strive to understand things in a very holistic fashion, looking at all levels of thought, feeling, and existence.
I work in multiple layers that speak to the various ideas, responses, and even subconscious reactions that a place, person, or object can activate. The subject matter that I choose to paint always has a personal connection, whether it is somewhere I’ve been, someone I know, or something I own. The materials I choose to include in my paintings are often commercial reproductions and publications that are closely connected to the location represented in the image, or found papers and objects around my own home.
I find great joy in bringing a piece to life by creating associations of word, image, color, and texture with the main subject. It’s a process that I have some control over, but I’m always amazed by the final product. Part of the beauty of seeing the completed work is finding things in my paintings that I didn’t know existed before."
