She has shown at venues such as The Whitney Museum, The Guggenheim Museum, Times Square Arts, and Socrates Sculpture Park - just to name a few. In addition, Amy has received residencies at The Watermill Center, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and Anderson Ranch.
Amy has collaborated with Laurie Anderson, Tina Barney, and Anne Carson - among others. she received a Master's Degree from New York University and Bachelor’s degrees in Film and Media Studies from University of Texas at Austin. You can follow her on Instagram @tinyscissors.
