Amy Farrier grew up in South Texas, drawing, reading, and trying to keep up with her imagination. After graduating with a degree in English literature from Rice University, she went on to teach English to adults in Houston, edit documents for a small consulting firm in New York, and manage communications for a nonprofit organization in Austin, before realizing that what she really wanted to do involved drawing, writing, and trying to keep up with her imagination. She currently does all three in Austin, TX.

Things she likes: Japanese woodcuts, Hitchcock movies, the color red, white space, Townes Van Zandt songs, happy accidents in watercolor, David Attenborough nature programs, organic gardening, big skies, spare prose, and simple lines.
