As a 1994 graduate of the Center for Creative Studies - College of Art and Design in Detroit, Amy Foster received a well rounded education in the field of illustration, graphic design and the fine arts. While she may dabble in painting and sculpting, Amy's true passion is drawing and her favorite subject matter is the figure... male or female, youthful or mature, portrait or full figure, clothed or tastefully nude.
In 1999, Amy went into business for herself as a freelance artist and an art instructor. After teaching at a number of local institutions including her alma mater, now renamed the College for Creative Studies, she decided to open her own art studio in Richmond, Michigan. She still travels to teach workshops and some weekly classes. She is back teaching Figure Drawing and Anatomy at the College for Creative Studies in the Illustration Department along with the Atelier School of Art in Royal Oak along with her own studio. Amy considers teaching to be a true privilege which enables her to share her love and knowledge of art.
