Amy Jackson
Amy is a neurodivergent Welsh freelance artist and designer based in South Wales, Swansea. Specializing in a
pointillism or dotwork style, her illustrations explore social and environmental themes with a twist. From logos to
large murals, her surreal designs have been featured in films and magazines, including her NHS Portrait Series.
She strives to create a sense of comfort and warmth in her illustrations, echoing the past and Welsh culture.
She faced challenges in school, suffering from various anxiety disorders, including selective mutism. As her skills
developed, she discovered that she could communicate through art when words failed her. Art became her
voice.
Being neurodivergent, she draws inspiration from a range of sources, from the Middle Ages to fleeting memes
of the internet, creating strange, sometimes surreal illustrations. She enjoys exploring important topics,
interpreting them, and presenting the messages in ways that are easier to consume or interesting to dissect,
often with a twist of humor or a tongue-in-cheek approach.
