Artist and designer, Amy Calandra Davis, has had her own painting studio since the age of twelve. Okay, so it was a “studio” made on top of storage boxes in the corner of her parents basement and she was creating with papier-mâché and vegetable stamps, but it produce art none the less!

Well, times might have changed but Amy’s love for art did not. After receiving degrees in Studio Art and Interior Design, Amy is now the artist and designer of children’s keepsakes sold throughout the United States and abroad.

Amy still works from a small home studio where along with some talented employees, her husband (and occasionally any one of their four fabulous kids), she creates the delightful artworks that has become known for.

It must be said that is not just an outlet for Amy’s creative energies . It is an extension of a precious lesson she learned from her son Zachary, the understanding that we encounter bright and beautiful gifts everyday each filled with hope and a purpose. Some gifts we miss because we’re not looking and some we let slip by because we’re not sure where they will lead. So believe in your light and let it shine for all to see. You’ll be amazed where it will take you!

Zachary passed away at the age of four. He is the inspiration behind the ”Little Star” boy and other images seen in Amy’s art. Please see our Little Star Outreach for more information about ways in which is helping to let other little lights shine.
