Amy first discovered Venture Arts when she was at college in 2010. She started coming weekly to do her Bronze Arts Award, and after leaving college she joined Venture Arts’ photography group. She has since worked in painting, collage, drawing, printing and textiles.
In recent years Amy has discovered a talent for working with digital media: “using Pro Create on the iPad, I make videos and drawings using the iPencil.” Photography remains a favourite too: “I like making photos of trees, birds, monkeys, tigers, elephants and giraffes, fireworks and space, the moon and the sky.”
Other themes that recur throughout Amy’s work include Coronation Street, music, patterns, cocktails and weddings.
In 2018-19, she was one of three Venture Arts artists picked for Other Transmissions, a collaborative residency project with emerging contemporary artists. Work by Amy and five collaborators toured to venues including Tate Liverpool, Artlink Hull and The Whitworth.

I liked seeing my artwork in frames on the wall at the Whitworth, in Hull, the Tate in Liverpool and The Grundy in Blackpool. I feel so happy with myself, I am an artist!
