  • Description

    Hi, I'm Amy.
    In 2008, I hit the road for a year. Nearly two decades on, I'm still going..! Ha! 🌏💃🤩
    The exploration never ends, and it has certainly taken a few forms over the years..! Here is a little lowdown of some of my shenanigans and transferable skills.
    Currently, I live and work from my home wheels, P2D2. I've lived (mostly) in a van for nearly 18 years now. This is a great way to sustain my deep connection to the wilds!
    I've generally kitted out all my vans myself. I love a good pirate build to get up cycling and practical to create myself a unique living space.
    My work is inspired by my pre dereliction for ancient, sacred sites and the natural world. I translate my adventures into artwork, crafting sculptures, amulets, murals, stories and song..the list goes on..!
    Inspiring others to tap into their innate creativity is a passion, so I host organized and spontaneous workshops wherever I roam, sharing my skills and being inspired in return. Last summer, I spent 6 months on an eco campsite in Somerset. I fit crafternoons in around my work schedule, teaching jewelry and book making to the guests.
    I've definitely pulled a few thousand pints in my life and even scrubbed the odd bog or two..! 💩 Hospitality work has taken me to the outback, the islands and down the High Street!
    Beyond that, I have set up festivals, designed decor in event spaces, worked as a fencer in the outback, a peanut butter fairy at super posh foodie events and even a stint as a tour guide on a submarine in Fiji..!
    I ran front of house at a fancy retreat centre in Oz, rescued stranded sheep during wild storms whilst farming in NZ, designed and planted herbal/medicinal gardens, mid wifed foal delivery, taught (shocking northern) English to kids and hitchhiked my way across the oceans as yacht crew.
    Sometimes, I reallllly enjoy a rest...!
    ☺️😉🥰
    Thank you for reading, have a wonderful day!

    Hi, I'm Amy.
    In 2008, I hit the road for a year. Nearly two decades on, I'm still going..! Ha! 🌏💃🤩
    The adventure never ends, although, it has certainly taken some forms over the years..
    Currently, I travel the lands in my beautiful home on wheels, P2D2. Inspired by humans, the living Earth and ancient, sacred sites, I sculpt miniature scenes, translating my experiences into art using crystals and clay. Painting murals, writing stories or cooking up a feast, I'm always in create mode! I host workshops wherever I roam, sharing my skills and being further inspired in return.
    Although technically self employed, I enjoy taking other positions to keep me connected with community and assisting with some awesome projects. Collaboration is key!
    I've definitely pulled a few thousand pints in my life and even scrubbed the odd bog or two..! Hospitality work has taken me to the outback, the islands and down the High Street!
    Beyond that, I have set up festivals, designed decor in event spaces, worked as a fencer in the outback, a peanut butter fairy at super posh foodie events and a tour guide on a submarine in Fiji.

  • What else ...

    I am the undefeated Dobble champion of the UNIVERSE! 💪😜😂
    I am currently house sitting for 4 months in Nottinghamshire, close to where I was born and bred . I'm rounding up my old mates here for 'Try Something New Tuesdays.' It's an experiment in exploration and play, to give creativity free reign as see what flows through us! I have successfully completed my 1st sewing machine lessons through it...woo hoo! And soon, I shall be able to juggle..! 🤔
    I am writing my second book!
    I travel with a treasure chest of paints, just waiting for a bare patch of wall to lure me in...
    I do have a reference, just waiting for it to get uploaded. I spent 6 months on a work away placement in Somerset last year, working on an eco campsite. This and other references are available upon request 🙏
    Thanks for your time...maybe meet you soon..?!! 🔥💃🌹🌻✌️😘
