About me
Amy Ordonez is known for her whimsical abstract paintings which reflect the inner and outer landscape. These colorful pieces celebrate the “happy accidents” where art is created by encouraging the materials to reveal their magic in community with the artist. Amygraduated Magna Cum Laude from Eastern CT State University with a double major in Sculpture and Art History. She enjoyed being a docent at the Wadsworth Atheneum for many years. For the past nine years she owned Studio 13 in East Hampton, an independent art studio offering paint and sip workshops, paint pouring and children’s art classes. In February 2024 she moved to the quiet corner of CT and now lives and works out of the historic Brigham Tavern in Coventry.
Amy has been formally studying Sound Healing locally, and in 2024 she was accepted into the prestigious 9ways Academia program (only nine students are accepted a year), a premiere sound healing school in Pennsylvania. In October 2024 she furthered her studies and attended Gong Camp, a 10 day deep exploration of all things gong. She was invited to travel to France in June 2025 to further study gong composition. In April 2025 she presented and played at the Connecticut Library Conference. She is an authorized vendor for the Hartford Public School system, and has played in numerous corporate wellness days, including American Eagle Credit Union and InCord.
Over the last few years Amy has been exploring the connection between creating art and mental health, developing unique programs that combine art and sound to help facilitate well being. She has presented these programs at schools, libraries, for social service departments, corporate wellness days and in private settings. She believes in the power of creative community and the ripple effect it has on society.
