Aimee Birnbaum was born in New York City and now lives and works in London. In the U.S. she trained at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts. After moving to London she studied etching and anatomy at the Sir John Cass School of Art and the Camden Institute. She regularly exhibits her watercolours at many different venues including the Royal Institute of Watercolours and at the Singer and Friedlander Sunday Times Competition Exhibition at the Mall Galleries.

Aimee danced classical ballet for 25 years which gives her the inspiration for a lot of her etchings and paintings. There isn't anything more exciting for her than leaping about to music. She tries to re-live that movement with images in ink and paint.
