Yes, art is beautiful. And it allows us to express ourselves and inspire others.

But the process of making art is also a spiritual process. If we’re open to it, the act of creativity gives us access to the divine.

Amy Zerner is a multi-disciplinary artist, illustrator and designer whose one-of-a-kind art couture jackets, coats and caftans are sold at Bergdorf Goodman.

A National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship Grant Winner, Amy has exhibited her paintings and mixed-media work extensively in individual and group shows.
