| ABOUT
Artist Statement: I strongly embrace the idea that meaningful, high-quality, handmade art can be produced with the intent to lower the cost of producing it. It is a pleasure to offer affordable original artwork to collectors, both new (including kids) and experienced.
Printmaking allows me to experiment with techniques and imagery that can be repeated in a variety of ways. Many of my print ideas emerge from painted or drawn studies which sometimes become final works on their own. I am very interested in album and book covers which can add visual dimension to other media.
I received a BFA in Studio Arts majoring in sculpture and became very interested in historical and current scientific illustration while studying for a year in London. I received a MSc in Public Health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine at the University of London. Working as an academic medicine hospital executive in complex cancer care delivery and research, I happily “burned the midnight oil” creating illustrations for academic papers, biotech reports, funding pitches, and university development magazines, all centered around explaining research methods and discoveries.
Currently, I consider myself the lucky owner/caretaker of a vintage French Tool Press made by its genre-changing originator. This press makes it possible to produce copper plate intaglio and relief prints using wood blocks and various forms of linoleum, as well as various forms of monoprinting on paper and other media.
I have been accepted into various shows ranging from national competitions to small “hyper-local” displays. My paintings, drawings and prints have been acquired by private collectors.
My current work attempts to fold biological concerns into imagery that is semi-representational.
My volunteer efforts focus on advocating for organizations that contribute to building local arts and cultural perspectives across any form of media as a community-centered economic driver and contributor to public health improvement. I advocate for affordable workspaces and opportunities for anyone wanting to exhibit or perform their art.
Working in Station Street Studios offers exposure to the perspectives and methods of other artists and the opportunity to explore other forms of media.
About
Browning Publishing
Browning Publishing, founded by Amy E. Browning, is dedicated to the exploration of methods to push the boundaries of illustration and art prints.

Committed to learning from and respect for authentic voices and visions expressed through art forms, Amy welcomes conversation, collaboration and sharing her studio with local professionals and residents as well as other artists through open studio times and workshops.
Based in Station Street Studios in Brookline Village, Browning Publishing provides a workspace and gathering place for the local arts community.
