Current Work 2010
Here is a collection of my current work from 2010, apart from the first painting, which I produced after my Open Studio back in December.
My latest project is called 'Time, Place, Memory' and I have become interested at the memories stored in old family photographs, and how these photographs can retrace the past, looking at the autobiographical.
I have based my work on the life, and the childhood of my Grandpa Leon.
Feel free to leave comments!

About Me
- Amy Sharpe
- London, United Kingdom
- I am a twenty two year old contemporary artist from London, who has a passion for painting figurative work, with influences in Greek mythology, religion, culture and especially old family photographs. I am an Art and Design graduate from Leeds University where I am currently preparing for my degree show. My paintings have been described as very colourful, and that my work has a unique style about it, sometimes distorted with exaggerated character traits and expressions. I like to work from photographs using models who are close to me, family members, friends or even sometimes myself.
