Biography

Hailing from Ontario but knowing the Halifax region as home, Amy Dyke (formerly Crosby) is practising part-time as an artist through painting, printmaking, cartography, and illustration. Her inner commentary is the driving force of her work, inspired by introspections of place, identity, and comedy. Crosby graduated from NSCAD University in 2022 with a BFA and minor in drawing, alongside the Governor General’s Medal, Valedictorian, Student Art Award in drawing, and a BMO 1st! nomination. Her work appears in stores, on lampposts, vehicles, and in festivals across Eastern Canada. She is graduating from the NSCC Centre of Geographic Sciences (COGS) with a diploma in Cartography that helps to further inform experiences of locale to her work.
