A beauty look with a head piece that was created on the spot. AUTHOR
Amy Skrocki is an Edmonton based interdisciplinary artist creating imaginative works of art from mixed media digital art, photography, metal, leather, fabrics, papers, and paintings. Full sets are often hand made or created in her small studio. Her work is as much driven by her love of fantasy, fashion, mythology and history as it is by the unique stories and concepts, written by Amy and her husband (Tanner), to accompany each new piece. Ideas are often discussed in depth, written down and Tanner creates the final written piece to go with each character. As the depth of her concepts grew Amy begin to hone her photography skillset in order to visually capture her creations coming to life and, thereby, complete the creative circle she envisioned: written story or poem, development and creation of physical pieces, bringing everything to life visually through creative photography, set design and digital art. Each photograph and the pieces in them can represent the accumulation of over two hundred hours, and occasionally much more, and comes from a lifetime of pursuing artistic developments and endeavors.
