ABOUT ME
My name is Amy
I started to paint over 10 years ago usually helping my husband on his own jobs where he could do with a hand. It turned out I was really good at painting and decorating and over time I have learnt how to coat surfaces properly, what paints to use and where and how to get a professional finish to my work. I started painting professionally in 2019 and since then have taken on various different projects from large communal office paints, Hotel room painting, wood restoration projects, new build painting and garden painting.
I AM AUTISTIC
What my clients say
What is Autism?
Autism or ASD is a lifelong developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. One in 100 people are on the autism spectrum and there are around 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK. (source https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/what-is-autism)
I may ask you to repeat a question - My brain works differently to others, sometimes as I process what you have said I can forget part of what you have asked. Please don't think I am not paying attention this is just how my brain is wired. I may also make notes as we speak to help me order the information that I am receiving from you. I always want to do my best for my clients and want to make sure that you get what you are expecting from me.
I may wear ear plugs, ear defenders or headphones while working - loud and sudden noises or lots of background noise may cause me stress and anxiety, please don't feel that you must creep around your home or garden while I'm working. I will use either my ear defenders or headphones if I'm struggling with the sounds around me.
Don't be afraid to ask!
Mental Illness and disability have been stigmatised for far too long. If you are interested to hear about how I have made my way through life or my journey to my diagnosis please don't hesitate to ask. I treat my autism like a broken leg or a bump on the head - Things you wouldn't mind asking people about in an everyday situation.
How my autism works to my advantage
I have a high attention to detail - You may find me using an artist brush to finish off cutting in or to touch up at the end of a project. I want to make sure I do a good job and I find using a precision brush really helps to give my projects a neat finish.

"I highly recommend MK pink painter! She's so good at what she does! We had our hallway & landing painted by her. And the results were amazing!
That we've now booked her to paint our lounge next month.
I'm so glad we found Amy! As we will definately be using her to do all of our decorating from now on.
Definitely 5 stars from us!"
