Amy Earls

Artist, Designer, Creative Specialist

Cincinnati, OH, USA
My art journey began with drawing at the tender age of 1.5 years old. Over the course of my life, I have accumulated many years of experience in creative media such as painting, writing, graphic design, and photography. My education includes two bachelor’s degrees, one in General Studies and the other in Digital Art & Design. I consider myself to be a continual student, devoted to the joy of creating, and sharing inspiration with others.
