Amish inspired art



I have been intrigued forever it seems with the Amish culture, their peaceful ways, simple living, slower paced-lifestyle, and their deliberate choice to do without modern technology.

I find inspiration in living a simple and slower lifestyle myself that filters down to my painting.

 For the last several years I have been painting stark snow scenes with Amish buggies as the focus of the painting.

 While I paint these buggies on pieces of wood I find a shifting in my own spirit that brings about a peaceful feeling as I paint the piece.



I hope you find a certain peace when you look at the photos of some of the paintings. Many of my Amish buggy scenes have found homes in Michigan, Florida and New York.
