Truro artist Amy Katherine Sanders, credits the serenity and beauty of the pine woods, ocean and bay, beaches and dunes of the Outer Cape as the inspiration for most of her art. Her artistic style creates velvety, seamless, richly detailed compelling paintings.
Amy is largely a self-taught artist. She did formative studies with outstanding art teacher Ron Parent for several years and has also painted under the direction of guest artists at Truro's Castle Hill Center for the Arts.

She considers pastel to be her primary medium, although originally she worked in watercolors and was a member of the Connecticut Watercolor Society for many years. She still paints occasionally in watercolors, and even acrylics, but she finds the richness of pastel color and its flexibility allow her to capture more expressively the beauty and depth of the scenes that she is drawn to paint.

Amy is an award winning artist and Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America (PSA). Her paintings have been sold in a series of auctions to benefit Truro's Castle Hill Center for the Arts and the Truro Historical Society. She has exhibited in galleries in Connecticut and on the Cape, and has been represented by the Addison Art Gallery of Orleans, Massachusetts since 1998.

She has done commissioned work for Seamen’s Bank of Cape Cod, Blue Gateways Inn, The Depot, and the Wellfleet Congregational Church of Wellfleet, MA, the Truro Historical Society and the Christian Union Church of Truro, and numerous private clients. She continues to welcome commissioned work, including landscapes and portraiture.
