Artist Feature Amy Cartwright May 19 2014

Take a look at today’s artist feature the talented Amy Cartwright! Here at Advocate we love her use of colour and small subtle detail, which really makes her artwork come to life. Not only does she create beautiful artwork, perfect for children’s books, she also is great for fun greeting cards! Her online portfolio is being updated and will be live very soon! Amy Cartwright was born in England and now living in USA. Her special childhood influence that leads to her artistic career was a small toy polar bear! She trained in Central Saint Martins studying illustration. She describes her artwork as whimsical, fun and cute. The methods Amy mainly uses is a 0.3mm propelling pencil and paper for lots of tiny sketches then she perfects is digitally. Her favourite piece currently is a little dog with a sad face and she can work anywhere as long as she has her computer. Her hobbies consist of hiking, travelling and making stuff. Amy doesn’t have any pets but if she did then she would have a wolfhound! Her favourite films at the moment are Wes Anderson movies, as she loves the colour palette! Lastly Amy loves carrot juice!
