Ama lives in Cornwall with her daughter and the somewhat aged and gnarly leftovers from her animal shelter in Botswana. Her career in Art and Education spans over thirty years. She is now a full-time artist.
Born and raised in Africa, this is a strong influence. At twenty she was running her own art business in Botswana. Ama has painted murals globally, illustrated six books, and exhibited numerously in Africa and England, she has sold prolifically.

Ama’s art is a vehicle for humour, magic, mythology, and storytelling.
Working predominantly in oils, watercolour, and mixed media, she draws on dreams, folklore, and her passion for the natural world, expressing the diversity of our experiences.
Ama achieved a 2:1 BA Hons degree in African & Asian Art & Archaeology at the London School of Oriental & African Studies, with research in the Kalahari.
She has a PGCE in secondary Art & Design at the London Institute of Education, an AQA certificate in counselling, certificates in Reiki & Quantum Touch, and is a qualified Drawing & Talking practitioner.
