Amy Tudor
Amy’s life became entwined with children’s book illustrator Tasha Tudor’s in 1998. It began with being taught to tell the grass from the dianthus when weeding Tasha’s garden. First introduced under a rose bush, Amy and Tasha’s grandson, Winslow, got married. In the nearly twenty years that have followed, Amy's work has gone from weeding to being the driving force behind the preservation and continuation of Tasha’s legacy.
