ABOUT


Hi, my name's Amy. I'm a landscape painter living in Iceland, inspired by the raw natural beauty of this landscape.
Through my paintings I'd like you to take a moment and experience the familiar yet otherworldly beauty of this volcanic island. Inspired by my own experiences travelling and hiking here, it's a place that captures my imagination at every turn. Whether it's walking past towering lava rocks thrust from the earth, brightly coloured fells venting steam, or glaciers gleaming on the horizon, it's hard not to gaze in wonder and feel a sense of the fantastical! I want to tell the stories of these stunning landscapes with paint and hope that you too will be captivated.
Amy re-discovered traditional painting in 2018, along with a passion for spending time in nature. Keen to re-kindle her personal work having been involved in the creative industry for over 15 years. She has created graphics, illustration and concepts for numerous clients spanning ecommerce & advertisment, animation, games and book publishing.
Amy grew up in a small seaside town in the South West of England and studied fine art and art history at the university of Plymouth. She went on to pursue creative work within the commercial industry eventually finding herself in Iceland where she now lives. The raw and wild landscape was something else entirely! Inspired, she began to paint it, exploring both the landscape and her own response to it. Encouraged by peers she developed a love for painting en plein air (despite the cold) which has now become an important part of her process in her endeavour to capture the essence of the places she explores. Landscape has always been a subject Amy has strongly been drawn to. She's fascinated by their power to transport you to a different place entirely, which you're free to explore and lose yourself in.
