* When she is not working with students or creating art, Amy can be found walking her greyhound named Steve, or driving someone somewhere.

*Why the paper bag? She has been known to draw on the back of grocery bags, which turned into a habit… and now she uses brown kraft paper on a regular basis (no longer relying strictly on Trader Joe's for "canvas") |
