Amy Schimler
Amy Schimler has sold her designs to many companies including Target, American Greetings, Hallmark, Unicef,
and Baby Gap. You may have seen her artwork on greeting cards, gift wrap, baby strollers, or in books and
magazines. She has recently illustrated three new children’s books and has a line of fabrics out with Robert
Kaufman.
Amy has been drawing and playing with color ever since she can remember. She has worked in many media,
including paints, fabric dyes, metals, and ceramics. She is a decorative artist drawing her inspiration from the
colors, textures and patterns she finds all around her in her everyday life. Busy city streets, graffiti, museum
visits from her childhood in New York; ocean hues and tropical flora from her teen years in Miami; laughing
ducks, basking turtles, and blue herons from her lakeside cottage where she now resides, have all informed her
work.
She attended Massachusetts College of Art and Design to study fiberarts and painting and continued her studies
in textile design at the Rhode Island School of Design.
She lives in a lakeside cottage with her family outside of Atlanta Georgia surrounded by a host of country
critters who inspire her work.
