Amy Marie
Artist • Designer • Educator • Founder of Coloring Rainbows
I am an artist, designer, educator, and the founder of Coloring Rainbows. I strive for my work to inspire creativity through art, education and mindful practices. My work bridges fine art and design with creative play, combining traditional techniques with thoughtful practices to help new and returning artists grow in confidence and creative abilities.
What I Enjoy
Working primarily in watercolor, ink, graphite and charcoal, I create artwork that celebrates expressive landscapes, florals, and nature-inspired subjects. I also enjoy exploring neurographical art and the elegant brushwork of traditional Japanese sumi-e painting. In addition to watercolor, I enjoy working with acrylics, oils, and prints, enabling me to bring a broad perspective to both my artwork and instructions.
My Creative Journey
Growing up in the Midwest, I discovered my love of art through middle school, high school and college art classes. Those early experiences sparked a lifelong passion for creativity and visual expression. I began my professional career as a graphic designer before expanding into instructional design, technical writing, and marketing, where I developed expertise in visual design, content development, and usability standards.
Although my career centered on design and education, I never lost my passion for fine art. When COVID changed our lives, I returned to painting and drawing with a renewed dedication. I have since dedicated myself to hundreds of hours of studying, practicing and writing about art, color, design and composition. This ongoing journey continues to strengthen her technical skills while inspiring new creative explorations and a renewed passion for lifelong learning.
Sharing the Joy of Art
Today, I combine my experience as both an artist and educator to create resources that make art fun, approachable, and rewarding. Through Coloring Rainbows, I teach and write about color theory, design principles, composition, and various creative techniques. I publish regularly via my blog, publications, social media and YouTube demonstrations. I enjoy developing instructional guides that help artists build both knowledge and confidence through user-friendly techniques and creative play.
I believe that great art begins with curiosity, creative play, and a willingness to keep learning. My mission is to encourage you to embrace your creativity and discover the joy of creating—one brushstroke at a time.
Whether I am painting in watercolor, sketching with charcoal, experimenting with printmaking, or teaching the foundations of design, I am passionate about helping you find your inspiration and experience joy of making art.
🌈I am dedicated to Making ART!! Having FUN!!
Our Mission
At Coloring Rainbows, we believe creativity is for everyone! Our mission is to inspire artistic exploration, nurture creative confidence, and make the joy of creating art accessible to artists of all ages and experience levels.
Coloring Rainbows is a welcoming art studio and creative learning space where imagination, curiosity, and self-expression come together. Through painting, drawing, watercolor, printmaking, mixed media, and exploration, we encourage every artist to discover new possibilities, develop their skills, and embrace their unique creative journeys.
Explore. Experiment. Create.
We believe the creative process is just as meaningful as the finished artwork. Art is an opportunity to slow down, explore new ideas, experiment with materials, and experience the simple pleasure of making something with your own hands.
Through beginner-friendly tutorials, demonstrations, workshops, creative challenges, and educational resources, we make learning art approachable, engaging, and fun.
Our lessons blend foundational art principles with intuitive creative practices, encouraging artists to explore color, composition, texture, expressive mark-making, and a variety of traditional and experimental techniques.
Whether you're learning to paint for the first time, rediscovering a lifelong passion, or expanding your artistic abilities, there's always something new to discover.
Creativity Without Perfection
At Coloring Rainbows, we encourage curiosity over perfection, experimentation over expectation, and creative expression over comparison.
We believe that every brushstroke, sketch, print, and splash of color offers an opportunity to learn, grow, and express yourself.
By combining artistic fundamentals with playful discovery and mindful creative practices, we hope to help artists build confidence, trust their instincts, and develop their own artistic voices.
There are no creative mistakes here—only opportunities to explore, discover, and grow.
A Welcoming Creative Community
Coloring Rainbows celebrates the individuality of every artist and the many ways creativity enriches our lives.
Whether you enjoy realistic observation, expressive abstraction, nature-inspired artwork, or colorful experimentation, you'll find encouragement and inspiration to create in ways that feel meaningful to you.
Our goal is to cultivate a supportive creative community where questions are welcomed, imagination is encouraged, and every artistic journey is valued.
