In October 2017, Amy was a recipient of a Catalyst Award for Transformational Leadership from The 224 EcoSpace in Hartford, alongside her late husband, fine artist Tao LaBossiere. Read the blog post here about that event. 

About

Amy LaBossiere is an artist, writer, and small business strategist who helps people and organizations gain clarity, navigate change, and move forward with intention.

Her background spans marketing, communications, consulting, and the arts, with a career shaped by senior leadership roles, long-term consulting, entrepreneurship, and deep involvement in creative and community-based work. Over time, this blend has formed a grounded, thoughtful approach to strategy, problem-solving, and long-term direction.

Amy works most often with founders, creatives, and mission-driven organizations who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or at a turning point. She helps them slow things down, see patterns more clearly, and reconnect with what matters — then translate that clarity into practical next steps.

Alongside her consulting work, Amy is an award-winning mixed media artist, published author, and longtime arts leader. She serves as Director of Hartford ArtSpace Gallery and has supported artists and cultural organizations for nearly two decades through mentorship, exhibition planning, curatorial leadership, and strategic guidance. In March 2025, she was elected to the board of the 224 EcoSpace, a creative hub dedicated to entrepreneurship, community, and creativity.

Her work is deeply informed by lived experience, long-term recovery, and personal transformation. She is currently pursuing Grief Educator Certification through David Kessler Training, expanding her capacity to support individuals navigating loss, transition, and identity shifts.

At its heart, Amy’s work is about clarity, meaning, and thoughtful communication — whether through strategy, writing, or art.

If your work is evolving, your direction feels unclear, or something new is beginning to take shape, she would love to help you move forward.
