I’m Amy - I’m an architect, illustrator, and artist. I typically illustrate with pen, ink, and pencil. I’ve always loved drawing because art can bring everyday objects to life. An illustration might cause you to stop and notice something you never saw before or you might see something in a whole new way.
I grew up in the small town of Hannibal, Missouri which was put on the map by author Mark Twain and is characterized by its many historic homes. Each building is an architectural window into a long forgone era of steam boats, railroads, and cobblestone streets. When you step into Hannibal, you’re walking back into history and it’s beautiful.
Since then I’ve lived in and traveled to many different cities and have always loved exploring. Through my travels architecture has become a recurring theme in my artwork.
I enjoy making custom illustrations and would love to make a special piece for you! If interested, fill out the form on the ‘contact’ page.
