New for 19th June 2020, Amy releases the hand finished limited edition of 'Summer Holiday,' featuring a family of Ostriches and is a follow up to the Original painting released earlier this year - hurry, this is a small edition of just 45 copies.
The 31st March 2020 saw the launch of the Amy Louise - Animal Antics collection, twenty-one wonderful new Original paintings and her most successful series to date!. Two years off touring Galleries up and down the UK, Amy took her fans feedback and with these releases wanted to humanise her ever growing family of animals characters with their own accessories.
Whether it be the headphones on the chimpanzee in ‘Lost In The Beat,’ or the wacky glasses on a grizzly bear in ‘Rocket Bear’ - an obvious nod to the Elton John biographical film Rocketman (2019) - Amy continues to push to the front of the pack of contemporary Wildlife artists.
**Video close up of 'Two Of A Kind - Original':
It is the 17th January 2020 and just in time for St. Valentine's Day, Amy releases 'All You Need Is Love,' featuring two Zebras nose to nose (rather than cheek to cheek!) on a beautiful 'Rectory Red' Farrow and Ball paint coloured canvas & a super small edition size of just 14 copies!
On the 8th November 2019 Amy creates her High Five Series of Giraffe Art, with three variants ('Oval Room Blue,' 'Pavilion Gray' & 'Rangwali Pink') of Farrow and Ball painted backgrounds and her favourite brand to paint canvases with.
31st May 2019 announces the launch of Amy's Summer 2019 Collection: 'The Good,' 'The Bad' and 'The Beautiful' which depicts gorgeous limited editions of a Lama, Ostrich and a Giraffe respectively!
**Another video close up, this one is of 'Olly Ostrich - Original':
20th November 2018, sees the Amy Louise Debut Collection of limited editions, featuring 'Dear Daisy,' 'Family Selfie' & 'Be A Flamingo In A Flock Of Pigeons.' - Cows, Ostriches and Flamingos in eye-catching bold colours.
Amy is an up and coming contemporary artist, specialising in the cheekier style of Wildlife art which continues to gain popularity in UK galleries and beyond.
Immediately one thinks of her art being in a similar style to her fellow artists: Paul James, Steve Tandy, Caroline Shotton and Jennifer Hogwood - the latter two specialising in humorous cows and Paul & Steve known for painting animals in ‘unusual’ backdrops!
Amy always had her hand in Art & Design courses throughout her schooling, along with her other regular studies and her passion was always textiles.
**Short movie of 'Timmy Toucan - Original' painting:
By the time she was 18, she was about to choose an English Literature degree but she changed course (quite literally!) to study a Foundation level in art and then went onto Fashion at university.
She spent some in Sweden after graduating University in 2011, designing costumes for various performers in festivals & later decided she would embark on a career as a professional artist in 2017 and success has followed her into her new career.
The process of textiles and costume design, she sees as akin to the painting process: making designs, creating personas and using bold colours to bring a personality to life, much like the end result of her limited editions and original art - the animals are very much alive to us, the viewer!
Obviously humour is a key aspect of the animals she chooses to paint but she also manages to capture both their grace and innocence; like most contemporary Wildlife artists, she reminds us of our responsibility to care for animals and their environments.
Did you know that the artists loves using Farrow and Ball paints for her lush backgrounds? As she feels the luxurious strong colours gives the animals a super contrast against the single toned canvas backgrounds & the effect is wonderful.
