Amy Rieg is an award-winning photographer and encaustic artists who lives and works in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She lived most of her adult life in Colorado and when her husband lost his job of 19 years, they moved to Pennsylvania to live with family and return to school where she attended HACC, Central Pennsylvania's Community College and graduated, with highest honors, in December 2018 with an AFA in Photography. Amy is fortunate enough to have become part of the lineage of photographers who have learned from the great masters. Her mentors Ronald Talbot and Garrick Dorsett had personal learning experiences with Sally Mann, Owen Butler, Minor White and Ansel Adams, who learned from the photographic pioneers, Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen. Amy is now attending Millersville University and pursuing a teaching degree in art education.
