After graduating as a software engineer, she worked in the Telecommunicationindustry and spent the next 25+ years traveling  aroundthe globe designing software solutions. In 2014, after leaving the hi-tech world, Amy returned to her creative roots and began a career as a fine art photographer.

“For me, photography is an internal journey. As an artist, I am drawn to the boundaries between the real and the imagined. Since childhood, I always found comfort in books that allowed me to experience different worlds, transcend time, place and physical reality. Much later, I discovered that being in nature results in the same sense of freedom, wonder and joy. It is this sense wonder that I try to capture in my images.

Like dreams, photography has a way of making thoughts and feelings surface, giving them visual shape. I am still amazed how the eye understands before the mind does - still surprised to see new facets of me in the images I create. “

 

She lives with her husband and two cats in Santa Monica, California, while the rest of her family (including the dog) wait patiently for her to return to Israel.
