Amy Wilson is a woman of many talents. Besides teaching in three different departments at The Visual School of Arts in New York City, she draws, exhibits and makes one-of-a-kind and small edition books, such as the one shown above, which I love.
Amy shows with BravinLee Programs and recently had a public art installation up surrounding a future children's playground in lower Manhattan.

It Takes Time to Turn a Space Around, 2009-2010
Digital print on a 150-foot vinyl banner, based on an original watercolor drawing created for the space
The installation was part of Re:Construction, a public art initiative recasting construction sites as canvasses for innovative public art and architecture. It was taken down at the end of April but, thanks to Amy, has been given a new lease of life, and is now available for purchase as handmade tote bags!
