Signwriting, Lining and Fairground Art

 

A traditional signwriter and fairground artist, Amy’s work is heavily influenced from growing up travelling steam fairgrounds in the West Country – the elaborate and visual typography, flamboyant colours and meticulous lines – are reflected in the signs she creates, both to commission and for exhibitions. All her work is undertaken using traditional methods – by hand, using no tape nor digital assistance. Projects completed include restoration and paintwork commissions in the heritage, fairground and circus industries – including steam engines, living wagons and circus lorries – alongside the design and production of one-off bespoke signs, in collaboration with individuals and businesses.
