Amy was born in Wellington 1974 and grew up in Hawkes Bay. After extensive travel she has now settled in Grey Lynn with her two boys Zephyr and Luka and partner Jeff. 

“I am currently working in Encaustic which is an ancient process of cooking bees wax, resin and pigment together, then fusing the layers with heat. Wax is a fascinating medium, the smell and the sensual luminosity. The way it creates a great depth and sculptural texture through the layering of the wax. Images appear and disappear as if the wax has its own agenda. In these works I have also been playing with gouging and scraping into the wax, uncovering or guiding you into what has gone before.”
