Amy Peters Wood

Picture
     Amy Peters Wood says she has never taken the easy route. She always wanted to be a veterinarian, to understand the inside of an animal down to the tiniest atom, but she had a huge handicap. She could paint and draw, but numbers danced and spun in her head, twisting into tight knots. 
     Some people suggested she would never get into veterinary school because of her aversion to math, so she studied art and scientific illustration and practiced filling out applications to veterinary school. To everyone’s amazement, she was admitted to veterinary school, graduated, and was a successful veterinarian for many years in Maine.
 
     But painting and differing points of view kept her awake at night, and she started to feel a void in life, which led to her helping her husband build a wooden boat in the barn behind the house. Ten years later, she packed her paints, and the couple left for a three-year global circumnavigation. Paintings were used as currency, and egg tempera became her preferred medium.
     When the couple returned, they sold the boat and bought the parts to make an amphibious floatplane. Amy started painting full time and won art fellowships, federal percent for art commissions, and first prizes in many local art shows in New England, where she still is represented by several galleries. 
     The couple discovered Dunnellon years ago while caring for Amy’s husband's parents. Falling in love with the Florida springs, horse farms, and wildlife in this area, the couple bought a small house on Lake Rousseau. Amy joined Rainbow Springs Art in Dunnellon, and through her art, she actively tries to preserve the rural character of this special place in the world.
