My name is Amy Widener. I have been creating art for as far back as I can remember, and for the past 30 years, have enjoyed creating children's illustrations.

I am a copyist at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC as well as a live event painter who is committed to capturing your special day to memory in a high quality oil painting during the event.

For more details and FAQ about having a live event painting done, please see my Live Event Painting Page and email me for a free consultation and pricing.

My inspiration in my illustrations and personal art comes from my own rich childhood memories, as well as lively, fun memories of our own three children.

It is my joy to provide images that bring joy and inspiration to children and adults. My work ranges from detailed black and white pen and ink renderings, to oil paintings in full color.
