Amy Brakeman Livezey began her artistic career as a filmmaker, which allowed her to explore a full range of interests: history, language, visual art, music. Facing the practicalities of making a living in the mountain west, Livezey’s career evolved toward photo processing, then graphics design, then custom home design. In 2017 she decided to eschew the work that took her away from creating, and re-dedicate herself to her art practice. Living in Helena, her studio is adjacent to that of her husband, landscape artist Dale Livezey.
