Foraging For Dandies

In Untamed, painter Amy Wright explores the hidden laneways and pedestrian paths that weave through suburban landscapes—spaces often overlooked yet brimming with quiet enchantment. Inspired by her wanderings through these unmarked routes, Wright captures the tension between the built environment and nature’s relentless impulse to reclaim it. Cracks in the pavement bloom with vivid greens and luminous pinks, while overgrown vines and untethered blossoms transform ordinary back ways into wild, living tapestries.

Rooted in both memory and observation, Wright’s paintings reimagine these forgotten corridors as vibrant worlds of texture, color, and resistance. Untamed celebrates nature’s persistence and the beauty found in overlooked places, revealing the poetry that emerges when the natural world breaks free of its confines and reasserts its presence in the everyday.
