About the Artist
Amy Boardman
I’m Amy Boardman, a watercolor and acrylic artist based in Huntsville, Alabama (Madison County). My work is inspired by faith, nature, and the beauty found in everyday life—coastal scenes, still life, landscapes, pet portraits, and botanicals that reflect hope, joy, and gratitude.
Art has been a constant thread throughout my life. As a child, I spent countless hours drawing at my grandparents’ dining room table, inspired by my father’s teenage sketches. In college, I studied Interior and Graphic Design with a focus in Management and earned a Bachelor of Science degree. Life brought many relocations and travels across the U.S. as I focused on raising three children—experiences that enriched my perspective and continue to shape my artistic voice.
A milestone moment in my journey was having my “Six Geese A-Laying” ornament displayed on the White House Christmas tree—an honor I deeply cherish.
When my children approached graduation and began their next chapters, I knew it was time to begin mine. I felt a powerful call to return to my first love: painting. I was reminded of Luke 16:10a, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” That verse inspired me to transform an unfinished basement into a creative sanctuary I call The Dungeon Studio—a place where faith and art reconnected. That quiet shift became a defining moment: I wasn’t just making art—I was stepping into my calling.
Today, I see my creative process as an act of worship—an invitation to see life through a lens of wonder and grace. Each piece is rooted in the belief that we are all masterpieces, crafted by the Original Artist. My goal is to glorify God through beauty that uplifts the spirit and draws hearts closer to Him.
My art continues to evolve with each new chapter of life—from the serenity of the mountains to the openness of the plains. With every painting, I aim to inspire others to slow down, embrace the present moment, and find beauty in the here and now. Each day is a precious gift—a chance to make a difference, pursue excellence, and extend grace, love, and encouragement to those around us.
It’s in life’s small, everyday experiences that I find lasting joy and fulfillment. I hope my artwork encourages a spirit of gratitude and mindfulness—a renewed way of seeing the world with wonder and appreciation. I strive to bring the everyday beauty of life into my art—celebrating nature and life’s little moments, and inspiring gratitude, joy, and hope—one painting at a time.
