Amy Lynn Schlabach is a contemporary abstract acrylic painter whose love for art was ignited during visits to the Cleveland Museum of Art during her frequent hospital stays as a child. Her primary source of inspiration for her richly diverse subject matter is a love of mathematics.
Schlabach has a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics from Malone University.

0x51287f00The majority of Schlabachs work has been commissioned pieces hanging in churches and private residences throughout Ohio and several other states. She has exhibited pieces at Rebeccas Bistro, Studio What, The Barrel Room and Bfearless.
Recently, Schlabach has added small works of pointillism (archival ink on linen) to her repertoire. Whether painting large acrylic works or fashioning small pointillism pieces, she loves to create art that evokes contemplation, meditation and prayer.
