Blues City Art
Amy was born in Georgia and raised in East Tennessee, nestled between the Great Smoky Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau—landscapes that sparked her lifelong connection to the natural world. Now based in the Tampa area of Florida, she continues to explore and create, always with a camera in hand.
Blues City Art represents the work of Amy Ingram-Curtis, a fine art photographer whose images are deeply rooted in the textures and rhythms of place. Her work reflects both the quiet strength of the Appalachian landscape and the serene, atmospheric beauty of the coast. Guided by light, weather, and stillness, her photography captures moments that speak without words.
Amy’s artistic perspective draws influence from photographers such as William Eggleston and Sally Mann, embracing a distinctly Southern sense of storytelling that finds meaning in the everyday. This vision is layered with the moody, cinematic atmosphere of Alfred Stiglitz and the narrative depth of Dorothy Lang, where each image feels suspended in time. Her landscapes are further shaped by the tonal mastery of Ansel Adams and the immersive natural environments captured by Clyde Butcher, resulting in work that balances emotional resonance with strong composition and light.
Amy's also influenced by artist Georgia O'Keefe. Her minimalist and intimacy approach in her paintings, can be seen in Amy's botanical photography. Through Blues City Art, Amy creates fine art photography designed to bring a sense of calm, depth, and connection into the spaces where it’s displayed. Each piece invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and experience the feeling of a place.
While earning her degree in Communications and Visual Art at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Amy witnessed a pivotal shift in the art world. The emergence of digital tools like Adobe Photoshop in the late 1980s and early 1990s transformed photography—and she embraced it. Rather than resisting change, she explored new creative possibilities through infrared photography, photo artistry, and cyanotype printing, continually pushing the boundaries of her work.
Craft & Process: Photographing using Canon and Hasselblad camera systems, each image is carefully refined to preserve the character of natural light, texture, and atmosphere. The result is artwork designed to be experienced beyond the screen—as archival fine art prints for homes, offices, and curated spaces.
A little-known chapter of her life adds deeper meaning to her perspective: in 1968, Amy survived a devastating gas main explosion at a daycare center in Hapeville, Georgia. That experience profoundly shaped her appreciation for life and the fleeting, meaningful moments she seeks to capture. Through every image, Amy shares not just what she sees—but what she feels. Amy is available for collaboration and commissions .
