Hello!

my name is Amy and I am an illustrator from Cardiff

I completed my BA in illustration at Cambridge School of Art.

I am interested in story telling, craft and making. I love to experiment with different materials from textile to ceramic, but mostly my practise comes from my love of drawing and what it can do for self expressions and connection with others 

please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to work together !
