Amy Duncan is a professional tattooist and part-time painter and botanical illustrator. She enjoys exploring different media and artistic disciplines, especially watercolour and oils, but her obsession with precision and detail remain constant throughout them all. Thematically she is drawn to all motifs from nature, but particularly plants, and specifically those with herbal, medicinal or magical properties. She also loves imagery of a religious, folkloric or mythological nature and is particularly fond of Buddhist themes and European fairytales. Aesthetically her work is inspired by natural history illustrations, Baroque still lifes, Tibetan thangka paintings and 19th Century book illustrations.
