Meet Amy Louise

The vibrant colours and trademark personalities of Amy’s animal portraits immediately catch your eye. Her paintings are instantly recognisable, and she has established a considerable following on the contemporary art scene. Her works allow the viewer to write their own story about the characters she portrays, and so, make them very endearing. 

Initially, Amy drew inspiration from her background in Fashion Design. Her debut collection, in 2017, featured a gang of flamboyant flamingos who all looked as if they were strutting their stuff down the catwalk. They were all quickly snapped up by her very first collectors and her feathered friends gang grew. 

In June 2018, she held her first solo exhibition, which enabled her to grow her famous flamingos into a whole host of recognisable animal characters – all with their own story to tell! More recently, her animals have started to wear clothes, enter beauty pageants and wear sunglasses on their holidays they’ve really gained a whole life of their own over the years and are now featured in galleries all over the country. 

Since this time, Amy’s career has grown alongside her family and where she once took inspiration from the catwalk, she now takes it from family life and in particular her daughter, Robyn and son, Charlie. The first of these family inspirations was, her sell out limited edition, ‘Tiny Toes’. Depicting a family of three flamingos splashing in the water. This has given rise to a whole host of baby animals and family inspired artworks. 

The character Amy brings to her animals has also been noticed by many a dog lover, and she now has a pet portrait portfolio as big as the entrants list to Crufts! There is a magical quality in all of Amy’s work that ensures that a smile is guaranteed every time, and therein lies the charm of Amy’s paintings. Her artwork brings joy and a feel good factor.
