About Amy
Amy Banner Updegrove is a native Texan who has lived and worked in New York and Los Angeles. After studying art, design and advertising she worked in media and fashion as the retail marketing director for Polo Ralph Lauren, the president of Los Angeles Magazine and the publisher of Texas Monthly.
Informed by the visual elements used to communicate a mood, story, season or location, Amy creates mixed material, three-dimensional builds with grounding shapes, natural textures and resonate colors. The resulting patterns reflect our surroundings, both natural and man-made. Combinations of paper, fabric, metal, acrylic and leather highlight perceived differences based on light and viewpoint.
