Amy Lockhart

Amy Lockhart is a Canadian filmmaker, experimental animator and artist. She is known for her paper cut-out and digital animations. She also makes objects, drawings and paintings. Her work often portrays cartoonish figures and muscled women and men referencing Western pop culture and children's drawings. In her cut-out animation, she plays with the technique by adding a suggestion of too-limber body parts.
She attended Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (Halifax) from 1996 to 1998. In 2000, she has completed a 5-month residency at Quickdraw Animation Society in Calgary. In 2004, she received a Hot House Fellowship from the National Film Board in Canada. This resulted in the digital animation "A Single Tear." Her animation "The Collagist" (2009) has been made through observing the working method of Marc Bell, with whom she has collaborated before. It has been screened at Ottawa International Film Festival and Oberhausen International Film Festival in 2010. In 1999, they made the animation Bonk! together. Her work has been shown at DePaul University Art Gallery
in 2012. She also participated at a group show Not Bad For London at Michael Gibson Gallery in 2011.
