My name is Amy. I’m an Australian freelance artist, illustrator and writer currently based in Chile.
I help clients translate their stories and ideas into striking and impactful illustrations, artworks and designs which connect with audiences.
I offer services across Freelance Illustration, Design and Development for commercial projects.
However, if you’re looking to commission an original artwork, head to my COMMISSIONS page here.
Ready to get started? Me too!
Do you have a project that is crying out for an illustrator’s helping hand?
My freelance illustration services include:
Comics illustrations
Children’s books illustrations
Editorial illustrations
Window painting
Licensing
and more…
From graphic designers, editors, freelance writers, publishers and beyond, clients come to me seeking a visual translation to their story.
Illustration and design, at their core, are storytelling. And stories are built on a foundation of relationships.
My work as an illustrator is to draw the threads of those relationships together into visual solutions.
Whether your story requires deliverables for editorial, publishing, book covers, comics or anything in between, I work with you to find solutions that not only connect, but last.
Past clients have chosen from my select, diverse set of styles, from vibrant hand illustrated works using coloured pencil, gouache and watercolour, to my more graphic styles in ink and pen, as well as digital works created in Adobe Suite, Procreate and more.
