Amy is currently a Curating for Change Fellow at the National Railway Museum in York. Having completed an undergraduate degree in Fine Art, she is excited about the prospect of exploring the art objects and wider collection at the NRM, seeing what new stories can be uncovered. Alongside working at the NRM, she also continues to make her own artwork, drawing inspiration from the landscape and the world around her and can often be found outside, drawing and painting with friends.
