Announcement    *WELCOME TO MY ONLINE STORE*

I am a multi-disciplinary fine artist. I graduated from Saint Martins School of Art with a degree in Fine Art Sculpture and also as a post graduate in Character Animation.

Since 1995 - I have been inspired in two quite diverse trains of thought: Firstly my Fine Art work in which I have worked in various media including acrylics, resins, glass, latex, wax and perspex. Some of these pieces have been exhibited globally, including at The Barbican Art Gallery and The Riverside Studios , London. - and in recent years, Downtown LA, Hollywood and Camarillo, California.
Secondly, from 1998, my Soft Sculpture works (formally known as Portobello Bears) have been exhibited throughout the world by specialist exclusive stores and galleries- and proudly are treasured within the homes of collectors globally.

Now I am also exploring the magical world of animation and experimental film.
Beginning in 2010, I moved towards giving these characters life. This is an ongoing project for me - bringing together my background in music, love of film & theatre. Animation also utilizes the mathematical side of my brain which is key to this incredibly meticulously structured art form.
My 'BbBb' character began as an idea to create stop motion animation of a koala bear chef cooking plant protein recipes. This has developed into a puppet who now will host not only the culinary education section of the show, he will also explore creativity and connectivity in my children’s online program ‘BbBb’s Cosmic Creativity Show’. I will be sharing my progress with this - so keep your eyes peeled.
Thanks for your interest and continued support - I am so very grateful for all the enthusiasm and compliments I receive from you all, my treasured collectors.

Meanwhile back to bears ---- my passion for creating one of a kind unique characters remains as strong as ever and I am now going to be showcasing new creations here on etsy.

*IMPORTANT* Back ground Information - the changing of my label from 'Portobello Bear Co.' to 'Amy Goodrich Collectables'.
"I would like to thank from my heart all the many collectors who have supported and appreciated my work since 1995. I began creating my soft sculptural artwork under the label of the 'Portobello Bear Co.'
