Meet Dr Amy Leigh Wicks: Author - Actress - Educator - Soulful Storyteller

I'm Joanna and art has been a natural part of my life. I have been working as a graphic designer for eight years. I have designed many book covers, printings, postcards, posters etc. I have always been fascinated by music, dance, film, graphics, colors, words, images. In 2019 I took part in Creativity Workshops led by Theresa Dedmon and experienced the power of God’s love through art. After that, I started run my own Creativity Workshops, Prophetic Art Courses, Events and lead people to transformation through various creative expressions of art. I helped many people to enter into a new way of communication with God. I also wrote my first ebook - "Creativity comes from God". In 2021, the random person gave me a Word about me painting and selling prophetic arts. The same year I started to paint and sell my artworks. I believe that prophetic art contains the anointing to heal, set free, restore and transform mind and heart. It is not about perfection, but connection with the Greatest Artist - God. We all have creative DNA. My desire and passion is to bring heaven into people’ lives, houses, streets, schools, hospitals etc. and show God's Lavish Love. Every time I seek God’s guidance and ideas how to create new things. I love experiment with a variety of media, texture and materials. Every painting is based on the specific Bible Verse and it is intended to lead to deeper revelation of God’s heart.

I always knew I was creative, but I compared my artistic skills to others and came to the conclusion that I wasn’t artistic. That is until I did heart healing through Biblically-based counseling and discovering more of Father God’s heart for me. A piece of me came to life that I didn’t realize existed. In the middle of this time, my young son started having unexplained seizures and it was such a hard season. Around that same time, I discovered abstract art through fluid acrylics. One of the first paintings I created seemed like a failure to me. I hung it on the wall and to my surprise, Holy Spirit spoke to me through it. He reminded me of a prophetic word I had been given about Isaiah 43:18-19, “rivers in the desert.” My painting was white and cracked, just like a desert ground, and blues, greens and golds ran through it, just like a river. It was this incredible invitation to partner with God in my creativity, and I said “yes!” I started painting as a way to worship and process what was going on with my son and life. As I began to share my paintings on social media others were moved by them and began to inquire about purchasing them. Now, I am more than 3 years into this painting adventure as a self-employed artist (and my son is seizure-free)! My paintings are inspired by my relationship with Jesus, my life experiences, and my appreciation for nature. The one-of-a-kind pieces that I create are filled with movement, detail, and joy. Liquid colors frozen in time, my art is a representation of the beauty of life. My family and I have lived in Tennessee for 5 years. As a southern girl, native to North Georgia, I love to adventure outside with my husband, who is also a full-time artist, and our 3 boys, enjoying the beauty of the outdoors and having fun discovering together! I love getting my hands messy while I spend time in the studio. I’ve developed my creative voice over years of experimenting with different paints and materials, playing, and finding that perfect balance of fun and sophistication. I specialize in statement pieces to change the atmosphere of a space, evoking feelings of joy and peace. It’s an honor for my work to be collected in homes and stores across the country, and showcased at the Artificers Gallery.
