About me

Hi, I'm Amy! I'm a fine art illustrator based in London. I create vintage-inspired artworks that include fun-loving Lindy Hop dancers and portraits of inspirational women throughout history, and trade book covers.

After having worked in the book industry for nearly ten years, I spent 2019 redirecting my career towards freelance illustration. My work is greatly influenced by the specialisms I focused on during my Art Foundation and BA in History of Art many moons ago - namely costume design, vintage fashion, and Renaissance portraiture. My Lindy Hopper range has been inspired by my time learning the dance and by the music of the jazz and big band era.

All my illustrations are hand-drawn using pencil (graphite and colour) or Micron pen and edited digitally.
