Amy Bennett is an illustrator who works with watercolor and ink. She is a California native who found her new home in Utrecht. Her love of travel has taken her all across the Netherlands and around the world, capturing her experiences through watercolor illustrations along the way. Each storefront she paints holds personal significance, as she always paints places she has visited (with the exception of special commissions). What began as a visual diary of sorts evolved when she heard stories from others who felt connected to the same places. Inspired by these stories, she decided to share her work.
Amy has a particular affection for creating art that tells someone’s story—whether it is the cafe where someone had a memorable first date or someone’s first home. She finds great joy in capturing the moments that matter most to others, and she loves that her work becomes a part of their personal histories. Amy may have even painted your favorite cafe or bar already, so take a look.
Her simplified and somewhat cartoon-ish illustration style is meant to give a nostalgic, sweet feeling to the buildings she captures. When she is not painting in her home studio, you can often find her out walking through little Dutch cities visiting cafes and gathering inspiration for new illustrations.
