About Ami Fagin & Visual Haiku
Based in Western Massachusetts, Ami Fagin has been producing original and reproduction fine art since 1985.
Ami’s newest and most mature line of work, Visual Haiku, emerged in the late summer of 2015 as a sudden motivation for daily, visually concise meditations on life. These stimulating watercolor poems reflect the rise and fall of emotional mindsets, interpretations of striking landscapes, and painterly design compositions distinct to Ami’s artistic talent. At home, near, and far, Ami captures the poetry of watercolor in the day-to-day reality of the transient moments of life as Visual Haiku.
Each individual watercolor is reproduced into archival editions of 250—hand-signed, hand-printed, and framed by the artist. The exceptional quality of each reproduction is the result of mastery in high-definition digital print technology and the use of only-the-best archival paper designed for fine art reproduction.

Since 2015, Visual Haiku have been exhibited at esteemed venues such as Fruitland’s Museum, New England Open Market, New England Watercolor Society Member Exhibition, and are represented by Michelson’s Galleries. To request an exhibit, please contact the studio.
One Hundred and One Visual Haiku Volumes I, II, and III are gorgeous fine art volumes of 305 visual poems printed in full color and on finest grade paper stock with soft covers. These books were published in 2016, 2018, and 2024.
Off-the-Wall Canvas Creations are an intermittent muse in Ami’s body of work emerging from her Visual Haiku. These acrylic explorations “writ large” are bold and alluring compositions of line, shape, color, and contrast. Individually crafted and printed on Ami’s Epson 9900 HDR, each canvas is as delicious as a layer cake and as mesmerizing as a night sky. These 24″ x 24″ canvas creations are composed with artistic excellence and earnest affordability.
