"Through her art, she invites viewers to find respite and renewal amid the chaos and demands of daily life."
Amy Engel is a fiber artist based in Phoenix, Arizona. Inspired by a life shaped by the shores of Lake Michigan, the mountains of Colorado, and the Arizona desert, her work reflects the peace and harmony of life-giving water.
Amy's lifelong passion for art began with childhood Saturday art classes, continued through high school art club, and was further shaped by studies at Colorado State University in the 1970s.
Her fiber art journey began in the early 1990s with the design and construction of 1800s-era garments. She later gravitated toward quilting in 2010 and, after creating hundreds of quilts over 12 years, sought greater artistic freedom.
That exploration led her to fabric appliqué art quilts — and ultimately to combine her love of painting with fabric and thread — an approach through which she found her distinctive artistic voice.
Amy paints fabric and brings her creations to life through both machine and hand stitching.
Sold, gifted, and donated pieces — work that has found its home.
When we lose someone we love, their clothing still carries them — the softness of a favorite flannel, the collar of a Sunday shirt. Amy gently transforms those cherished garments into keepsakes made to be held: memory bears, quilts, and bags, so a loved one stays close.
Each piece is made one at a time, with care for the story it carries. If you have lost someone dear and would like a keepsake sewn from their clothing, Amy would be honored to create something just for you.
