Amy Sandys-Lumsdaine is a wildlife artist based in Kenya for over 29 years & selling Internationally.  Amy paints idealised, simplified figurative oil paintings of wildlife & landscapes she has encountered during her life in Kenya over the last 29 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 & often includes repeats & patterns found in Nature, but also evolved from Swahili architecture & Tribal crafts, jewellery & textiles.

​

Amy's work connects old & new, of hand crafted elements & 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.
