Amy Jefferys

Visual Art – Toronto

A childhood filled with wonder and expression through visual arts resulted in Amy Jefferys’ post secondary studies at OCAD U, (the Ontario College of Art and Design University). During her studies she was accepted into an abroad program and spent the third year of her university career studying in Florence, Italy. This focused time allowed her skill to flourish. Jefferys’ became fascinated by the mystifying nature of growth through anatomy as well as its unseen qualities in mammals in conjunction with botanic species. A studio practise results in elaborately detailed life forms coexisting through a new lens in Jefferys sculptures and drawings.
