Pith stories: with Artist Amy Izat

The second instalment in our series 'Pith stories', Sharing the unique lives, inspirations and knowledge of the creatives who bring our sketchbooks and notebooks to life. We caught up with artist Amy Izat, to hear her incredible story.

In 2014 after a life-changing incident, Amy’s world was plunged into darkness and flipped upside down. Her plans to further her studies in classical portraiture in Venice were put on indefinite hold. Despite living with constant health challenges Amy has forged an incredible niche in her art practice. A testament to her strength, resilience and well-earned talent.
