Welcome to Amy Youngblood’s New Sports Art Website

So after months in the making,  we are excited to introduce our new and improved website with better quality images, content and yes, e-commerce capabilities!

So a bit about  me.  I’ve worked as  a fine artist for almost 20 years.  I started out dabbling in all types of mediums and subjects until I found a great niche in the Sports Industry.   I initially started off approaching high end golf courses in the Midwest and Southern regions of the U.S. with the intent on painting their “signature hole.”  With the advice and connections of my accomplished golfer father,  Mark,  I peddled my existing artwork and met with  golf pros and club managers of hundreds of golf clubs. Not to mention doing several art and golf shows. Yes, this was before the internet age and life was face to face selling.  Remember those days?!  In any event, I was hugely successful in my efforts and starting garnering commissions and opportunities through word of mouth and  further networking.

From there opportunities arose in the areas of portraiture (as I’d also been good at capturing people), collage style pieces (athletic greats Byron Nelson and Barry Larkin ) baseball, horse racing and even NASCAR.  I even had my original painting of Ben Hogan inducted in to USGA Museum in Far Hills, New Jersey.

I welcome you to our site, managed by my incredibly capable husband, Tom,  who also shares my love for art, golf, and all sports. Please check it out at your leisure and let us know if you have any questions.  We look forward to earning your business!
