BIO
Amy Turner is a self-taught artist born and raised in Los Angeles, creating fine art, commercial design and commission pieces around the world. Amy works in mixed media, diving into new textures, palettes and forms of construction and fabrication.
As a self-taught artist, I believe and create from a place of “anything is fair game” with what can become a piece of art. From found materials and objects bought at estate and thrift stores, to more "traditional" paintings and illustrations, I let my imagination connect with the medium. I have a strong affection for the discarded by creating new forms of construction and fabrication. I have repurposed wild-posting advertising, discarded on the streets of Los Angeles, into vibrant wall art. Since 2023, I have gathered and curated over 60 pieces of artwork. I only utilize what I find, with no embellishments. If something is graffitied over, I use that and see the graffiti taggers like invisible collaborators in this work. There is a power in giving new life to these colorful ads that have then become trash. I hope that viewers will feel inspired by the new way I have used these forgotten materials.
