Amy Graham is an Artist and Art Educator born and raised in SE Idaho. Her career began at 3 years old, with her first art exhibit--a sharpie drawing on her parents’ kitchen cupboards. (Unfortunately, it wasn’t well received.) Growing up, she drew constantly, especially during math class. Deciding she was tired of getting in trouble for drawing during school, she chose to study art in college. She combined her love for art + being with people, and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art Education from BYU-Idaho. After teaching Jr High and High School art, she went rogue and began independently teaching classes/private lessons to people of all ages--at community centers, staff parties, church groups, from her own home, etc. She is currently making commission portraits, teaching private lessons, heading up the Shelley Youth Art Group, as well as teaching art classes to Pocatello’s after-school programs. (ADHD is her superpower/kryptonite for getting involved in many things!) Amy, her husband Patrick, and their three little hyper sons are currently squatters living in her parents’ basement while they build their dream home against the Shelley foothills.
