Amy Hutchings is a visual artist based in Bristol. A printmaker, mural artist and artist facilitator, her practice incorporates silkscreen print, etching and spray paint.
She endeavours to capture a sense of place and evoke memory within her work through the use of descriptive line, abstract colour and texture.
She is currently Artist in Residence for a year with Artshub in East Harptree, which provides access to an incredible studio, and involves community engagement with residents in the Chew Valley and Mendips. She has recently been commissioned by the World Reimagined project, to designing a globe for display in Bristol Cathedral.
Amy is responsible for running monthly workshops with refugees and asylum seekers at Spike Print Studio, works as Art Facilitator for the RWA with SEN+D schools and families, as well as delivering sessions for Mothers with postnatal depression. She runs creative workshops for a group of care homes in Bristol, delivering art projects for dementia sufferers and elderly participants. She believes art is for everyone and is passionate about enabling the visual voice of others.
Amy is passionate about hand-made techniques and embraces the quirks of process that come from traditional methods of working. She loves to draw – her ideal day would involve translating drawings onto another material, injecting colour and texture and being immersed in the making.
She is a huge fan of descriptive line, abstract colour and pattern. She loves biscuits.
