Amy Couling is a Japanese Kiwi visual artist from Ōtautahi Christchurch. She grew up as a bilingual, 'bicultural kid' of Japan and Aotearoa New Zealand. She draws inspiration for her work from the rich symbolism in kimono patterns, ukiyoe woodblock prints and from her own family history.

​

Amy graduated with a degree in Japanese Language and Culture which included studying in Japan on scholarship. She also lived abroad in Europe for a few years before returning to Ōtautahi Christchurch to complete a degree in Applied Visual Art.
 

Amy strives to intertwine Western and Eastern themes into her work to promote diversity and mutual understanding between people of different cultures.

​

Amy's art practice ranges from ceramics, illustration, painting, printmaking, public art and sculpture.
