AmyV says this about herself….

Maker of critters and things in all sorts of materials

Durango tethered but worldly exploring

Armchair philosopher and observer

Appreciative of learning anything about everything

Lover of the universe and everything in it

Really likes to share

…And here are more words, about what others have said about her…

Her work spans a diverse menagerie, from beloved pets and wild animals to the enigmatic figures of folklore and Cryptozoology.
