Grammar school educated Amy was encouraged to follow an academic path, but her love for the arts lead her to study Art and Graphic design to A-level, an Art foundation at Lincoln Art College and then developing a passion for textiles, she finally studied Fashion Design at the University of Lincoln graduating in 2011.

Amy went to Sweden thereafter where she designed and created elaborate ensembles for carnival dancers. Without doubt her studies and experience in the fashion industry seep through in to her painting style, notably the process of research, build and development of her fun characters whose personalities ooze through their expertly painted expressive faces.

The use of Farrow and Ball backgrounds is a genius idea and an interior designers dream! Contrasted with the vivid colours of the animals and birds Amy paints, often with a metallic tint means her cheeky creations literally pop in to the foreground, making the viewer smile.

Amy’s work is much sort after, collectable and certainly an investment for the future…
