Hi, I’m Amy. I am passionate about self-portraiture and have deepened my love for it over the last 5 years in particular, as I discovered it’s one of my favorite ways to externally process.
I extol the therapeutic act of showing up, letting go, and allowing what’s going on inside to pour out onto the frame. It’s my way of coming back to myself.
I love empowering others in their own artistry (you are an artist!). I delight in passing along my knowledge and experiences so others can add technical and artistic tools to their storytelling toolbelt.
I fell in love with photography in my high school darkroom and after a brief dalliance with digital, I slowly returned to my film roots. Although I connect best with the technical aspects and artistry of film photography, I strongly believe we should unapologetically use the best tool for our job (my iPhone is one of my favorites!)
I am passionate about tangible art, whether it’s making cyanotypes, embroidery, weaving, cutting, or folding. Not only does it bring me satisfaction to work manually, but I refuse to let my art and memories be swept away in the Digital Dark Age.
I am an artist, owner of Film Lab 135, The Art Lab guide, and Post-Processing podcast host, residing in Minneapolis, MN with my three boys (and cat, Lily). I’d love to connect and create with you. I truly believe we are better together, a rising tide lifts all boats, teamwork makes the dream work, and any other cliché about community that is only trite because it’s true.
