Portfolio About Shop
I’m Amy, an illustrator based in Plymouth, UK. My work consists of playful, tactile explorations of the feeling of otherness; I’m inspired by silliness and creatures, as well as narratives which percieve the world through the lens of neurodivergence.
I love shrimp. I keep a tropical shrimp tank which inspires my practice and storytelling. One of my favourite things to do is to infodump about the weird and wonderful animals we share our planet with.
My practice spans into analogue and digital illustration, comic art, animation and textiles-based sculptures.
