A bit of backstory
Art, event design and creativity
Creativity has been my core guiding principle since I was a child.Ā
Iāve somehow managed to carve a living and successful businesses by letting this be my North star.
As an artist, Iām passionate about making art that takes place outside traditional institutions and creates real meaning and memories for everyday people. That means work that focuses on interactivity, live-ness and connection - exploring what connects us as human beings.
Iāve presented work at SPILL National Review of Live Art, BAC, Forest Fringe, Deptford X, The Late Shows Newcastle, The Basement Brighton, Camden Peopleās Theatre, RichMix, The Bluecoat, Barbican Plymouth, Shoreditch Town Hall, Queenās Hall Hexham, Whitstable Biennale Satellite and on the streets of New York via Art in Odd Places.
As well as delivering my own projects, I have been commissioned by a wide range of partners including arts festivals, charities and community organisations.
In 2019 I joined theĀ Freelance Artist atĀ Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts and worked with many different groups as a maker and workshop facilitator.
I trained in Theatre & Performance Design at LIPA, graduating in 2007. My background in set design means I often call upon these skills in my work, creating whole immersive environments and interactive encounters. Many of my projects have taken place in empty buildings, bringing them back to life for creative and cultural purposes.
Iām Amy.
I think my years of sourcing stuff for events has made me a lover of combing markets, secondhand and vintage shops. For home bits and clothes. My mum thinks Iāve got a problem when it comes to the amount of clothes I have.
Making stuff is a key NEED for me. These days Iām making bread and finding a lot of satisfaction from creating offers and writing.
Iām a mum of two young girls: aged 4 and 1 and a half. Building time freedom for our family is my driving goal.
I am a total
coffee and wine snob.
If itās not decent, I donāt drink it.
My heart is equally split between London and where Iām from - Northumberland. We go back regularly to reset but then always look forward to coming back to the big smoke too.
Iām a music lover. I play the piano and am addicted to 6music. Music can always make me cry. Even on product adverts.Ā
Iām obsessed with
Empty buildings
I think one day I will take over a big space and fill with amazing people and activities.Ā
