Bio

Amy Mizrahi is a self-taught painter based in Liverpool. Her work explores themes of ‘invisible’ disability, trauma, dreams, memory, and heritage from an autobiographical perspective. Amy employs a juxtaposition of unusual imagery, drawing inspiration from the uncanny and unconventional. Through a vibrant palette and surreal visuals, she creates a dream-like realm that invites viewers to escape.

Amy co-founded the artist-led SLOE Gallery in Manchester, where she served as co-director and curator for over two years. She has completed several artist residencies, including Generator Projects in Scotland, Eastside International in Los Angeles and Unit 1 Gallery in London. She was personally selected to participate in the ‘Fair Art Fair Curated II – Womxn’ exhibition, curated by Jo Baring and Beth Greenacre, additionally, securing a place among the top three finalists for the Manchester Home Open award. Her artwork has been showcased throughout the country, and she was recently shortlisted from 560 candidates by Tracey Emin for the TEAR residency (The Tracey Emin Artist Residency). Additionally, Amy is nearing the completion of her PhD at the Manchester School of Art, where her research focuses on the ways in which Surrealism can serve as a contemporary language for exploring the artist’s autoethnography.
