Amy Devereux works in a combination of watercolour and collage, to create artwork that explores elements of nature, fantasy and abstraction. She is inspired by botanical and scientific illustration, European fairy tale imagery from the 1970s, and the joy of working with watercolour. Having completed a degree in Fine Art at the University of Ballarat, Amy now lives and works as an artist and educator in Melbourne.
