Manage episode 363013479 series 2868791
Amy Ringholz is an artist, entrepreneur, mother and an author. She made a pivotal decision to pursue art full-time after a remarkable summer in Jackson, where she sold 30 paintings and gained immense support from the Jackson Hole community. Amy attributes her success to her strong work ethic, creating an average of one painting every three days and continually pushing herself to produce new and captivating works. Her dedication serves as a testament to the power of dreaming big and believing in one's abilities, inspiring others to pursue their own goals.
During her college years, winning scholarships played a significant role in altering Amy's path. This experience motivated her to establish art scholarships of her own, providing support to ten aspiring artists each year, helping them realize their dreams and achieve their artistic goals.
In addition to her acclaimed paintings, Amy has ventured into the world of writing and self-publishing. Her upcoming book, 'Rabbit and the Crown of Dreams,' draws deeply from her personal experiences, delving into the pursuit of dreams and the quest for a deeper purpose in life. Scheduled for release on May 13th, the book will be accompanied by a children's show at noon and an adult show at four. Furthermore, an auction of the 14 original paintings featured in the book will take place on August 19th.
