Amy Skrocki knew what she wanted to be since she was 5 years old; a designer and fine craft artist, and has spent her life acquiring the skill set to create the items she daydreamed about. Amy spent most of her life learning and developing her own techniques, tools, processes and skills which she then taught to her best friend, and now husband, who works with her full time creating the pieces, Tanner. Amy is located in Edmonton, Alberta and is an interdisciplinary artist creating imaginative works of art from mixed media digital art, photography, metal, leather, fabrics, papers, and paintings. Her work is as much driven by her love of fantasy, mythology and history and the natural beauty found in Canada as it is by the unique stories and concepts, written by Amy and her husband (Tanner), to accompany each new piece. As the depth of her concepts grew Amy begin to hone her photography skillset in order to visually capture her creations coming to life and, thereby, complete the creative circle she envisioned: written story or poem, development and creation of physical pieces, bringing everything to life visually through creative photography and digital art.
Tanner Wilson Skrocki- My artistic endeavors began as a young child who opted for extra curricular drawing, painting and clay sculpture classes to fill my evenings. Later I would develop an interest in wood working before moving on to graphic design work for which I took formal studies in Adobe. At this time I was also composing music with my hobby band, writing poetry, and was the main contributor, graphic designer and editor for a fanzine focusing on independent music.
My love of travel, history and diverse heritage fuel my contributions to the designs.
