Artist Statement

​

My name is Amy E. Vialpando, I am the 

Owner/Artist at AEV Fine Art in Lovland, Colorado. 

​

My passion lies in creating art with my hands — inspired by my parents, who have both taught me that creativity is a way of life for our family. Whether working with pen and ink, paint, plaster, or richly textured handmade paper, I find joy in the tactile process of making.

​

Rooted in my love of nature, my work at AEV Fine Art explores a harmonious balance between organic abstraction and intricate detail. I incorporate sustainable, upcycled materials and handmade paper—each piece layered with depth and meaning. Located in the heart of Loveland, Colorado, my studio is a space where the beauty of nature and art converge.

​

"Just thought I'd tell you how much we continue to enjoy the piece you did for us! There's something about the way the morning light is hitting it now that's just magical. The subtle and not-so-subtle shadows are so dynamic!"

More about the Artist

 

I was born in Laramie, Wyoming. I grew up in Cheyenne but later returned to Laramie to study art at the University of Wyoming. I was closer to outdoor recreation there, and that changed my perspective on everything going forward.​In high school, my artistic skills became recognized when I received awards at the Laramie County Art Fair.

 

At seventeen, I was nationally recognized by Dow Chemicals as one of the top 50/1000 applicants in the Earth Day Art Exhibit. My piece was framed by Dow Chemicals and went on tour to eight different states. In 1992, I received national recognition as one of the top 50/1000 applicants in the Mazda Art Car competition. 

 

During college, I was awarded several art scholarships. In 1995, I graduated with a BFA from the University of Wyoming. After college, I found art opportunities as an art director, a graphic designer, and a freelance artist selling at art exhibits and art festivals.  Since moving to Loveland in 2001, I have been exhibiting my art in galleries and museums in local and national art exhibitions.  

 

I could not have achieved any of this without the genuine support of my family and friends. The life I lead as an artist is full of eternal, colorful gratitude. ​
