Hi, I'm Amy Denise, a digital artist, surface designer, and sometimes painter. Thank you for being here with me on this creative journey. I hope you enjoy reading these posts!
Just when I thought I was done with the Carousel collection I put it out into the world to get some feedback and I made some big changes. I feel like this collection is way more complete.
