I make art about everything from parenting and politics, to periodontal disease and professional sports. My work has been published by The Nib, Huff Post, The Believer, PEN America, The Establishment, and Seattle Weekly among others.

​

My picture books focus on the world I want to see, one that prioritizes relationships, healing, and care.

​

In addition to making art and raising two wild children, I'm a longtime art teacher. I’m passionate about making education a more compassionate, equitable, and creative experience for all students and their families.

​

I live in Seattle with my family, a gigantic stray cat, and a terrible (but adorable) dog. You can reach me at amyalethe@gmaildotcom.

Also, I used to be Amy Gerber (long story) so if you're looking for her, look no further.
