Born in 1971 in Hammersmith, Amy Douglas grew up in a theatrical family .She studied at City & Guilds Art school under Flavia de Grey RA (1995-98) in The Decorative Arts, learning the applied arts of gesso work, gilding and specialist painting techniques. She has an MA in printing making from Camberwell College of Art. (2011-12). Amy worked at Shakespeares Globe as Deputy of props, travelled a lot, had two children and restored and conserved ceramics in various studios in East Sussex.. This work influenced what became The Art of Salmagundi.

Her work is skillfully crafted placing the work in between the realm of craft and fine art. A fragmented visual diary of the people in her life, the situations, the things people say, observations and ruminations she experiences in the everyday. Each piece hints at a narrative often with a dark sense of humour.

The approach is playfully serendipitous, created with no particular order or timeline this reflects on the thoughts that life is a series of random stories colliding through the universe. Amy works with ceramics, gold, paint and pencil .

Her work is in numerous private collections and has been exhibited at Lulu Guinness, Paul Smith, Collect, Jack Hanley Gallery, New York and she is a member of The Royal Society of Sculptors.

Her collaborative projects have evolved over the years, working with people with aquired brain injury, neurodiversity, and those living with epilepsy. Get in touch about community art projects.
