Amy Mazzetta (b. August 19,1961 Bremerhaven Germany) Mazzetta is an Artist whose practice bridges fresco, printmaking and painting through a materially driven, sculptural approach to surface. 

Having lived and worked extensively n the United States and Italy, Mazzetta’s work reflects a sustained dialogue with Italian fresco traditions, combined with the physicality of relief carving and the logic of the printmaking processes.

She received her BFA from The Atlanta College of Art and an MFA from The University of Kentucky in Printmaking, Painting and Art History. For over a decade Mazzetta taught at the Atlanta College of Art and Woodward Academy continuing to lead workshops and private instruction. Mazzetta currently maintains studios in Atlanta, Georgia and Monteleone di Spoleto, Italy. 

Over the course of her career, she has executed numerous murals and frescoes; confronting their immobility, she developed a distinct body of work conceived as “movable walls.” These works are built on wooden panels layered with gesso and natural pigments, producing thick tactile surfaces that are simultaneously painted, incised, and printed. Each piece functions conceptually as a printing block, collapsing the distinction between image and object.

While her earlier work focused primarily on large scale abstraction, recent years have seen the introduction of more intimate works centered on the human face and its interior, spiritual dimensions. Across all scales, her practice is grounded in the use of primitive natural materials, including Venetian plaster, cement, and dry and pure pigments and ground minerals.

In parallel with her studio practice, Mazzetta has collaborated with Modern Multiples in Los Angeles, a studio noted for its innovation in Serigraphy and mono printing. This has extended her investigation of surface and variation on the theme of repetition in printmaking.

Her work stands as a rigorous exploration of material memory, process, and enduring resonance of ancient techniques within a contemporary vocabulary.
