Amy has studied art since childhood and received a BS in Interior Design from The University of Tennessee. An extended foray into the corporate world was highlighted with interesting and diverse artistic ventures. A fine artist, she sold her paintings at Interiors Marketplace, studied at the Cape Cod School of Art with renowned Impressionist Lois Griffell, and worked with a master hand engraver in Charleston, SC.

After a number of years accepting commissions for murals from Interior designers, Amy decided to take her talents full time. She currently provides decorative painting, murals, and high-end faux finishes for some of Charlotte's leading designers.

In 2005 and 2006, Amy's work was showcased in the Charlotte Home Builders annual event, HomeArama. Her work for award winning designer Amy Nash Griffin was seen most recently in McSpadden Custom Homes. Among other awards, this 2006 home won Best Interior Design and Best Overall House.

Amy travels regularly to train with industry masters including Martin Alan Hirsch, Barbara Skivington, Melanie Royals, and Mike MacNeill. From her studio at home she continues to design and develop her own finishes, bringing a unique look to an age old art.
