Amy Stauffer

The Englishman is a fine art gallery on Fifth Avenue South.  Several works by Amy Stauffer are exhibited.  She uses her interest and knowledge of African animals in her art.


Stauffer's remarkable works are "scratchboards."  She coats a masonite board with white kaolin, which is carefully sanded before applying a coat of black India ink.  The artist then carefully scratches into the ink layer, using a variety of tools.  The result is photographic in its sharpness and detail.  

Beautiful!  Stunning!  I can find space for the zebra . . .
