Amy Funk was born in BC and started painting as a very young child. Funk studied fine art post high school in Florence, Italy and London, England before completing her fine arts undergraduate degree from the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design in 2008. Funk continued her practice in Manhattan, NYC and Berlin, Germany before switching gears and moving back to her hometown of Vancouver to attend the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts and graduate with both honorable mention and a scholarship in 2010. Working in the culinary world for the past fourteen years both in Ontario and Nova Scotia has allowed Funk to bring her visual aesthetic and thematic interests together. As the daughter of a professional photographer and chef, ingredients as much as art have surrounded her senses from childhood and the evidence of her love for both art forms is manifest in her work. Funk now resides in Lunenburg, NS and is the proud owner and chef of Shore Lunch Food Truck.
