Amy Sandys-Lumsdaine is a wildlife artist, still life, landscape & figurative painter based in Kenya for over 26 years.  Her works are profoundly influenced by her life & travels through Africa, Asia & beyond. 

Trained in textile design Amy's work is centered around the natural world and often includes repeats and patterns found in Nature, but also evolved from Swahili architecture and Tribal crafts, jewellery and textiles.

​

Amy's work connects old and new, of hand crafted elements and traditional painting.  Drawing on her background in textiles she hand carves blocks with simple or intricate patterns, often bringing in these motifs onto the canvas or frame to suggest a handcrafted artefact, something from another time and place.  She embraces the small misprints and overlaps, which make each piece completely unique.
