I've heard of crafters in the US losing their houses because Disney came after them. And these were only small time crafters not in the media like audrey is.
I think her paintings are very amateur tbh. She hasn't improved at all with them. Clearly copied Sophie tea who is always progressing and looking at other ideas and isn't afraid of moving on from what she's known for.

I saw she is now painting things like Mickey Mouse and Chanel - surely there are copyright issues with these? Not like Audrey would check!

She mentioned it her her stories a while back. Lots of people are copying her style and I guess some people tag her in those posts.

Audrey Hamilton is an artist from Dublin, Ireland. She used to be an actress in LA before returning to Dublin and becoming an artist. While most artists struggle to sell their work at first, Audrey seems to have no problem selling mediocre art. Being friends with influencers like Georgie Crawford seems to have helped a lot. Would be interested to hear other people's thoughts on her and her 'art'!

Great to see this thread! Messaged Audrey months ago to ask why she was copying Sophie Tea

Here you go, I didn’t want to crap on Audrey’s business style because I think it works...as much as I disagree with how popular it is simply because of insta fame. Anyway, I thought she’d be reasonable and not bite my head off. I posted from my public artists page too.

God only knows why, they don’t look v nice. She’s moving on from painting, I don’t think she has the creativity to move her art in a new direction? There’s only so many boobs and animals you can paint before it gets boring. She did herself a great disservice by not supporting other Irish artists……but she’s not on their level.
Good on you for calling her out. Immediately went all defensive so you know you are right. Some amount of struggling artists out there and Audrey is raking it in

I’ll be doing the same. I upload my own art to different sites and they immediately take down any works linked to a corporation like DisneyI for one have emailed [email protected] with a link to her Mickey “art”
I think she’ll follow Sophie Tea’s lead and I do feel sorry for Sophie. She’s put in the work over the years

Ah here- the “Hiiii Guyyyyssss Happy Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday” just HAS to stop. The constant hair fixing and touching behind the ear gets on my tits. What is it with her pulling these ridiculous “hilarious” faces every time she’s posing for a photo?
The conference was the Shona project afaik.

Absolutely, it’s very disheartening, she’s inthe right places and knows the right people to help grow her business. Very fortunate and could always use her privilege to highlight other artists .... but that’s just taking away business. Well, probably not!!Just found this thread- thank you for pointing out the Sophie T comparison!! Deffo ripped her off, I’m also an artist and so infuriated by her!! It’s like if you market it well enough on the gram you can sell anything
That’s awful! I wonder who she did the conference with? Geez, they could at least get an art school graduate to give an honest full-circle perspective.

I wasn’t in her year so couldn’t say too much about school but agree with her being in with the “cool gang” and not having much time for others. To be fair though my year was exactly the same, run by a Regina George and her minions as I like to say 
she is from a wealthy background from what I know. Again though, not unusual for that school.
I was looking at old posts and Audrey said she donated 50% of whatever the koala bear was called. She donated 20k so she made 20k herself off one painting?? No wonder they could afford to move recently!

I’ve set up a new account and I can’t say much for fear of outing myself but I went to the same school as Audrey and I also know of her husband. They both come from money and they both have always wanted fame. It was just a case of how they were going to get it.

She is definitely over-hyped, her work is nice and good enough but not to the scale she is selling it. She was in the right place, at the right time and with the right friends - I can’t believe the amount of prints she sells. It seems she painted ten pieces, got prints made and sells the shit out of them. I absolutely hate the new bum painting - it’s just so ugly and cartoonish, but the pastel brigade will keep her in business. She is stealing a lot of ideas from Sophie T who is another one churning them out to the influencers, but at least she is constantly creating new pieces. As an artist myself it’s very demotivating, getting prints made is expensive and she can afford to rent a studio and the marketing all within a year. Crazy. Maybe I’m envious but I also think the work isn’t all it’s made out to be. And the ‘hiii guyyyyysss’ is irritating.
