Meet Amy Donaldson, one of the four featured artists in Perspectives of Place, the newest exhibition in our Beyond the Grid art series.
Known for her luminous abstract paintings, Amy creates richly layered works that explore color, light, and emotion. Using natural pigments and expressive techniques, her paintings evoke a sense of movement, depth, and quiet reflection, inviting viewers to pause and experience beauty through a contemplative lens. Her work draws inspiration from themes of hope, healing, and the transcendent power of light.
Now on view alongside artists Liz Flores, Cheri Charlton, and Carina Vargas Nuñez, Perspectives of Place transforms Fairmont Chicago’s lobby and the Chicago Pedway into an immersive gallery exploring how identity, memory, and community shape our understanding of place.
Discover the exhibition for yourself, now on display through September 22.
