Amy is a NYC based multidisciplinary artist and educator originating from Louisville, Kentucky. Her artistic practice spans from creating installations, paintings, drawings, mixed media sculptures, to publicly engaged works. Amy’s work examines the intersections of various sciences and investigates ideas of the internal and external struggles of the human body. Her work focuses on lifting chronically ill voices while shedding light on the mistrust in our modern-day medical systems. Another large facet of her practice focuses on collaborating with people in diverse scientific fields such as planetary scientists from Johns Hopkins University and NASA. She believes there is a healing power emitted when communities come together to reflect on the wonder and awe of the world around us and the power of the human imagination.
Amy received her BFA from Western Kentucky University (WKU) and her MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in the Mount Royal School of Multidisciplinary Art. Amy has exhibited her work in various galleries and museums nationally, including The Kentucky Museum, The National Academy of Sciences, The Museum of Contemporary Art Nashville, and in galleries throughout New York City. Amy has attended artist residencies such as the Trestle Art Space Residency and the Post Contemporary Residency. She was selected as a 2018 HEMI/MICA Extreme Arts Fellow, a 2018 National Academy of Sciences fellow, and selected for a 2019 European Space Agency conference in Madrid, Spain. Amy is also a lead artist on the newly selected NASA mission, Dragonfly.
