Painted by Amy
Devon
I am a sign painter, gilder and artist based in Devon.
I undertook an apprenticeship with an experienced sign painter at the start of 2020 and immediately fell in love with gold leaf. A self-taught gilder with a background in fine art, I enjoy the playfulness of unexpected words juxtaposed with a decorative and traditional craft.
My favourite pieces include colour, some excellent word choices and considered detailing.
Proudly independent
A few favourite PIECEs
After a devastating injury to my right hand during freshers week back in 2002, I packed up my paintbrushes and left art college. Even though I went on to make a full-ish recovery (a medical phenomenon!) I found myself not quite following my dream.
It was after the birth of my first child that I decided to give up my stressful job and focus on something that made my soul sing. Luckily, people seemed to love what I was making, and Painted by Amy was formed. I feel a sense of gratitude every time I pick up a paintbrush, and I love sharing my passion for lettering and gilding with my customers.
