About the artist

Embroidery artist Amy Davies focuses on creating beautiful tactile pieces of artwork. Based in Manchester with a BA degree in Interactive Arts, her artwork primarily focuses on exploring colour and texture. A self taught Embroiderist, Amy combines hand embroidery, bead work and paint to create unique, stunning pieces of wall art. Each piece is sewn completely by hand, with hours dedicated to creating these often abstract, tactile pieces. Her paintings often form a complimentary component to her embroidery, soft and calm, evoking a sense of meditative tranquility. Founding her own brand ‘Circle&Stitch’ in 2019. Amy has slowly built up a small business selling her artwork, along with drawings and jewellery. Artwork is currently for sale via her online Etsy store and her creative progress can be followed on her Instagram account. Commissions welcome.

The Art Post premise is simple

The Art Post is a wax-sealed miniature art gallery right to your doorstep. We're curating and showcasing masterpieces by up and coming artists on postcards. You can either subscribe to our new Emerging Artists edition, or our Sheffield artists edition (where we've been testing the concept!)

You can collect the postcards, frame them (they're printed on high quality card) and of course, send them to friends and family to say a simple thank you or tick all your birthday cards off for the year with a card that can be treasured for life.

"I didn't know I needed it, but I'm so glad I found it." - That's a quote from lovely Sal, one of the Art Post's first very first testers.
