Artist—Writer—Photographer

Amy Athans

Hey, I’m Amy — a photographer, artist, and writer based in sunny Florida. Welcome to my little corner of the internet, The Creatures.

I started this space out of a lifelong love for animals and the natural world. It started as a way to share a few photos. Now, it has slowly turned into a mix of stories, portraits, and drawings. These are inspired by the creatures who make life brighter.

I’ve always found peace in observing the small stuff. I notice the flick of an ear and the stretch of morning light. Photographing and drawing animals lets me hold onto those fleeting, honest moments.

Here on the blog, you’ll find a bit of everything. There are snapshots from photo sessions, personal essays, and sketches. You’ll also find the occasional glimpse into my creative process. It’s all centered around the same thing — connection, care, and curiosity for the living world around us.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope this space feels calm, genuine, and full of life — just like the creatures who inspired it.
