ABOUT
Hey! I’m Amy, an Australian illustrator, artist and writer working in comics and picture books currently based in Chile.
I illustrate and write visually rich fantasy stories for children, young adults and adults.
When working with my clients, I visually translate their stories and ideas into striking and impactful comics, books and illustrations which connect deeply with audiences.
My personal work and the client projects I am drawn most often centre on coming of age stories which follow a through vein of the hope of happy endings and found families set in fantastical worlds where life's adventures help the characters to grow and transform for the better.
I am particularly inspired by queer and neurodivergent lived experiences brought to life in fantasy and fiction, great world building, fables, folk tales, mythology, epic fantasy series, the natural world and especially well told ghost stories steeped in strangeness, place and wonder.
Ready to bring your story to life? Shoot me an email to amygardner.artist@gmail.com.
I can’t wait to hear from you and start making your vision a reality!
