Amy Liu is a New York–based painter, soprano, and writer whose work resides in the charged space where ornamentation becomes language of longing and objects begin to breathe. Rooted in the traditions of European painting and decorative arts, Liu’s work presents the human instinct to embellish not as vanity, but as a vessel for remembrance, reverie, healing and ephemerality. 

Liu received her MFA in Painting from the New York Academy of Art in 2022. Her interdisciplinary background in art history, creative writing, digital art, theater, and opera continues to inform the narrative sensitivity, theatrical precision and historic reflection of her paintings. Liu  presented her debut solo exhibition, Oasis, at VillageOneArt Gallery in 2022. In June 2025, she had her second solo exhibition,  Jeweled Realms, with Latitude Gallery, further expanding her exploration of opulence and interiority.

Liu’s work has been exhibited internationally in major art centers including New York, Miami, London, Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai. She has shown with galleries such as Harper’s, Latitude Gallery, IRL Gallery, Paul W. Zuccaire Gallery, and Wilkinson Gallery. She has participated in leading art fairs including Untitled Miami, Future Fair, ART SG, and ART021.

Her work has been featured in publications such as New American Paintings, The Untitled Magazine. Liu is the recipient of numerous honors, including the Dahesh Museum Award, the Staller Center Award for Excellence, and the Leon Bolotin Scholarship for Exceptional Painters.
