Biography

Amery was born in 1937[1] in London, England. In 1959 she relocated to Tehran, Iran.[2] She is a member of the Chelsea Art Society, Free Painters and Sculptors, and the Royal Society of Sculptors.[3]

She was married to Nezam Khazal, an Iranian architect.

Artistic style and career

Amery subjects include the British prime ministers John Major, and Margaret Thatcher[2] as well as King Hussein, and Queen Noor.[4]

Created from bronze, fibreglass, plastic, and resin, Amery's mixed media works reflect her view of what man is doing to the world and to the environment. Her sculptures and paintings have been interpreted as both figurative and abstract.[4]

Amery has a studio in Chelsea, London[4] and exhibitions of her work including shows at the Royal Society of British women sculptors, Cleveland's Dorman Museum, London's Orangery and at various museums in Iran. She also has auctioned her work off at Dreweatts & Bloomsbury Auctions.[5]
