MURALS

Amy has been working with schools throughout the Hutt Valley creating artwork to brighten up their grounds. Local history, Maori legends, wildlife, important people, cultural traditions and designs are some of the themes featured in these works. These are often created with the students and funded through grants. If your school has a space or idea for a mural please reach out.

Workshops and Classses

Stickers, character creation, murals and painting are a just a few of the subjects Amy has covered in workshops and classes with students ages 5-16. If your school has a specific project or focus this can be incorporated into a workshop or class. Some of these workshops have also been funded through grants.

PUBLICATIONS

Art, illustration and stories are a great way to share ideas, values and culture with students and families at your school. Amy has worked on many children’s picture books and learning resources for NZ tamariki. With experience in each step of creating a publication Amy can help you with concept creation, writing, illustration and printing. Please reach out if you would like to discuss an idea or project.

Working with Schools

With a young family and a love for working with children Amy has found this incredible opportunity to use her skills to inspire youth. She is happy pop into your school or chat on the phone to discuss your ideas or give you inspiration on projects to suit your school. She can also provide quotes in the early stages to assist your funding applications.

“AMY LISTENED CLOSELY TO OUR BRIEF AND WAS THOROUGHLY PREPARED AND RESEARCHED. THE MURAL IS ONE WHICH REFLECTS OUR DIVERSE SCHOOL COMMUNITY WHILE ALSO RECOGNISING OUR LOCAL HISTORY. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND AMY TO WORK ON ANY MURAL PROJECT AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE OF HER WORK AT BOULCOTT SCHOOL.”
