Meet Amy

Amy Baird (Middleton) was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. She studied Child Development, Art and Architecture at Oregon State University and attended the Reed College-Portland Art Museum joint course. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Her work has been influenced by the Northwest, from the temperate rain forests of the Pacific Coast to the wildflowers in Eastern Oregon, and has been inspired by the art and cultures of Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Amy enjoys gardening and watching the many birds that drop by in the spring. She is the mother of three children and lives in the mountains of Virginia.
