From a young age, Amy started making botanical art as a way to preserve a memory and display something meaningful. While working as an interior designer, she had a client who needed several sizable pieces of art. The idea came to her to try pressing some large tropical leaves in hopes of framing and using them for the space. She had long admired famed botanical artist, Stuart Thornton. She made an oversized press and started
experimenting with pressing plants on a larger scale. Her and her client both loved the outcome. With nature always as her primary medium, Amy now combines different techniques to create botanical art that has a quiet and humble beauty. Amy’s art is timeless and adaptable in any space. And although the idea
of botanical art has been around for centuries, her art carries with it a unique perspective and an original feel. Amy lives in Baton Rouge, LA with her husband and five boys.
