Amy is my name, but feel free to call me Buttons, if you like.
I'm an artist residing in Pennsylvania, with a penchant for portraiture and figure drawing. In 2001, I received a BFA in Illustration from Moore College of Art & Design, in Philadelphia.
From 2002 till 2008, I lived in Melbourne, Australia. It is just as much "home" to me as Pennsylvania has ever been. I still get homesick, but flickr helps me find bits and pieces of that world.
Towards the end of 2012, I opened my first Etsy shop (under the name "Buttons McTavish") and have included the link on this profile. I made a few sales, and have only a handful of things there, right now.
Why Buttons McTavish?
Ask a silly question, get a silly answer. Innit.
Thanks for stopping by!

Amy is our own Clarice Starling of Flickrwood. She is strength. She is assertive self. She captures the spirit of self assuredness, uses her intelligence, art, and wit to confront not only combative commenters (who are her friends) here on Flickr, but also in the mostly private and real struggles of her personal life. I feel honored to know her, even through the special glimpses allowed here.

Amy is an amazing artist with a wickedly good sense of humor. She surrounds herself with beauty, hopping from one exotic beautiful abode to the next, while tropical kookaburra parakeet types of birds flutter about her all the time, as if she is some particularly adventuresome version of Snow White. What really knocks my socks off about Amy, though, is that she manages to do ALL THIS--parakeet birds and all--while still doing a truly inspiring job heading up the International Foreigner Fan Club (Australia chapter). I mean, wow. I've never heard "Cold As Ice" the same way since listening to Amy's impassioned speech about the Foreigner philosophy that time in Melbourne. It was a life-changing moment for me. This is the woman I've got to partner with. With Amy's tireless devotion and sensitivity to the true musical legends of our era, I know together we can bring the divine Ms. Deborah Gibson back from the brink, to the very epicenter of super-stardom.
