Amy Kosina

I am an illustrator and comic artist based in Oneonta, New York, where I create visual stories rooted in dark, atmospheric themes. While I enjoy experimenting with a variety of materials, my favorite medium is traditional pen and ink. I find my deepest creative focus within the stark contrasts of black, white, and grayscale. I use heavy shadows and intricate linework to build atmospheric spaces where the visual imagery tells the story.

Originally self-taught, my journey into visual arts began after a career as an English teacher, a background that directly fuels my passion for writing and structuring stories for graphic novels. With a deliberate leap of faith, I made the bold choice to completely reinvent my path, courageously returning to school as an adult to formally hone my craft, earning a fine arts degree from the State University of New York at Oneonta. Today, that life transition fuels my dedication to illustration, where I focus on creating striking images that blend with the written word to capture psychological depth and mystery.
