ABOUT ME
|
Hi, I’m Amy Raymond
— a professional artist based on Sydney’s Lower North Shore. I live just north of the Harbour Bridge with my husband Josh and our two children. My creative journey began early, encouraged by a love of drawing and painting that was nurtured throughout my childhood. I went on to study graphic design and spent over a decade working as a Senior Art Director in a leading advertising agency. After stepping away to focus on family life, I eventually returned to my roots—and am now painting full time. Today, I create bold, expressive seascapes that celebrate the colour, texture and rhythm of the Australian coast. A lifelong beach lover and proud Sydneysider, I draw constant inspiration from the natural beauty of our beaches—from sunlit rockpools to the movement of swimmers in the shallows. Using layers of acrylic and ink washes, I work intuitively to capture the feeling of a place—its energy, stillness, and sense of nostalgia. I'm currently focused on exhibiting my work at the Affordable Art Fairs across Australia, including in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne—bringing my coastal-inspired pieces to collectors and ocean lovers alike. |
