About the Author
Not long after graduating from the University of Akron (OH) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Drawing, Ohio native Amy Lindenberger, CPSA began a 15-year career as a portrait artist, completing over 600 privately commissioned portraits. In 1985 she opened The Linden Tree Fine Art Studio in North Canton, OH, offering adult drawing classes, a program of drawing instruction for children and teens, and special focus workshops in drawing and colored pencil techniques. In 1996 Amy began pursuing her dream by combining her experience in depicting human expression and emotion with her lifelong passion for the Civil War era. The culmination of this effort can be seen in Beyond the Battlefield, a series of large-scale colored pencil images which focus on the war's effect on the citizen-soldier, his wife and children, and society as a whole. Amy's work depicts with great sensitivity the personal realities of the Civil War in the lives of both soldiers and civilians, and provides a wonderful complement to the battle scenes depicted by other Civil War artists. Since 2005, Amy has also been a member of the faculty of the Botanical Art and Illustration Program at Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh, PA, providing instruction in colored pencil techniques for use in botanical art. Amy has shown her work in a wide variety of local, regional and national exhibitions, receiving numerous awards. Her work has been included in seven internationally-distributed books, The Best of Colored Pencil, Vols. I, II, and IV, Creative Colored Pencil Portraits, CPSA Signature Showcase, CP Treasures I and II, and Incite 2: Color Passions. It was also featured in the Winter 2006 edition of American Artist Drawing magazine. Beyond the Battlefield has been exhibited in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Amy was the featured artist at the 2004 March to Destiny Civil War Encampment in Shippensburg, PA, and served as a lecturer at the Women's History Symposium in Gettysburg in 2005. Amy is a firm believer that colored pencil has brought her tremendous opportunity and artistic fulfillment, matched only by the fulfillment she has found in her personal life with her husband, children and seven (and counting) grandchildren!
