Ahoy tharr, and welcome to my site. This is where I will be posting portraits, illustrations, croquis and a selection of studies drawn from life.
Actually, my name is Amalie, but 'Amy' has fewer lazy vowel sounds to it. I am mainly self-taught, but spent some semesters at The Drawing Academy in rural Viborg, in my native land that is Denmark. At The Drawing Academy I was trained in classical drawing by Artem Alexeev and Aljoscha Blau. TDA also became the place where I slowly found personal 'artistic' freedom; when my little eyes truly opened to the wonderful world of drawing, and my mental drawing hand-shackles were cast away - or somewhat brutally shattered - so to speak. Since 2011 I have worked as a portrait drawer in Tivoli in Copenhagen during the summer season where I also cut b/w paper silhouettes, ye good olde way. Talking to all kinds of strange folks there is almost as fun as drawing them. I would like to say that I take pride in summoning their souls onto the paper, but there is no non-pretentious way of stating such a thing. So I won't. Thanks to you for stopping by, and merry further journey in cyberspace and beyond ~ Email: [email protected] |
