Amy graduated with a BA (Hons) in Contemporary Fine Art from the City of Glasgow College 2024. The skills she gained in composition, colour, and materials continue to shape the way creates each piece.

Amy has built a diverse portfolio that includes portraits, pets, wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, still life’s, murals, and other subjects.

She works in a range of mediums, including acrylic, watercolour, charcoal, pastel, pencil, and ink, selecting the one best suited to the subject and style.

Much of Amy’s work is commissioned. She loves working with clients to bring their ideas to life as finished artwork.

Whether a portrait, a pet, a favourite place, or a subject chosen to mark a special occasion, Amy approaches every piece thoughtfully. Amy’s aim is to create artwork that combines technical skill and sensitivity, resulting in original pieces that hold meaning.
