Important elements of Amy Park’s artistic practice include “watercolor, architecture, good paper, straight lines, looking at abstract paintings, color theory, composition, buildings I see every day and ones I have never seen, yoga, walking through new cities, my camera, museums.” With architecture and abstraction as her subject matter, Park creates paintings in watercolor. “This choice is out of my love for the medium,” she says. “I like how unpredictable it can be if I let it, but I also love how I am able to paint a straight line. Every painting requires a meditative state, whereby I just paint the lines, building a building on the paper.”
