Amy is a British artist, designer, author and curator. Ultimately Amy's goal is to tell a tale of Britain's fascinating history, the myths, the legends, fairytales, eccentricity, culture, society and politics, all within a variety of artistic forms.
Amy's bold colourful work is inspired by the Italian Renaissance, pop art and graffiti. Her vibrant art has been exhibited at heritage sites all over Britain from a majestic Hardwick Hall AKA 'the lantern of the north', to the oriental garden at Biddulph Grange, behind the ornate 'royal' railings at London's Rainham Hall and throughout the world famous medieval fan vaulted cloisters at Gloucester Cathedral. Amy has delighted and entertained audiences with her engaging art.
Amy established her studio in the Spring of 2011 and since then has worked on a breadth of independent and collaborative projects across multiple industries including fine art, fashion, publishing, heritage and interiors.​

In February 2026 GLASS.ARCHIVE opens its doors, a beautifully curated early English photography gallery and print house. Rare and striking imagery make up the archive's debut show BLOOM including original portraits by pioneering Victorian photographer Owen Graystone Bird.
