who
i am amy wasserman, the person behind amy creates. i’ve been creating for as long as i can remember. i don’t think there is an art or craft supply that i haven’t tried. i love color. it doesn’t matter if it’s picking fibers for a sweater, quilt or collage, making polymer clay canes or splattering color on a clay flower pot. i also love working with my hands. if i’m covered in color with fibers hanging from my hair, i know it’s a great day. more about me…
what
most of my professional career has been making collages. i also knit, sew, photograph, make jewelry and paint household items to make them funky. most recently i’ve been upcycling vinyl flooring — saving leftover vinyl from disposal in a landfill. i like knowing that my work is helping the planet.
where
my collage illustrations have appeared all over the country in magazines, on bookcovers and in ads. you can always find me on facebook. i live in rural western massachusetts.
