Amie McNeel

Amie McNeel’s art has been inspired by formal symmetries found in natural systems. Her sculptural patterns and forms explore the dynamism of the natural world, reflecting constant and interactive change. The natural engagement she responds to are alternately subtle and severe, uniform and chaotic. McNeel negotiates these extremes by shifting scale from macro to micro, interior to exterior and working in a variety of materials¾steel, wood, and glass.

McNeel received her MFA from the University of California at Berkeley, CA, and has taught sculpture in four academic institutions, serving as the Chairperson of Sculpture for fourteen consecutive years.  She also taught sculpture at the University of Washington, Seattle where her studio research is supported through the Hermine Pruzan Faculty Fellowship and the Milliman Endowment for Faculty excellence.
