Amy Kennedy is a mid-career Ceramic Artist.

Originally from Melbourne, she is now living on Yuin Country, on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, Australia.

Her work is guided by a deep interest in the aesthetics of material, process and transformation. Using unique ceramic-glass materials, she has researched and developed, Amy creates sculptural works exploring concepts of energy and force, with allusion to earth’s forms and landscapes.

Amy graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Honours from RMIT University Melbourne in 2006, having previously completed a Diploma of Ceramics at Box Hill Institute of TAFE.

She was awarded a residency at the European Ceramic Work Centre in The Netherlands after graduation, proving to be a transformative experience. She has since been granted artist residencies at Anderson Ranch Arts Centre, Colorado, Baer Art Center Iceland, and The Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park Japan.

In 2013 a New Work Grant by the Australia Council for the Arts was instrumental in setting her on the path to developing new ceramic-glass materials and innovative construction and firing methods. In 2015 she was awarded first prize in the Toorak Village Sculpture Award.

Her work is held in the collections of Art Gallery of South Australia, The Ian Potter Museum and Bendigo Art Gallery and the National Gallery of Victoria.

Amy is represented by Skepsi Gallery, Melbourne.
