In the 1900s, Fuller performed in Perth, including with the Belle Crome Company.[1] In 1905, she was one of the four soloists in a performance of Handel's Messiah at Perth's His Majesty's Theatre.[2] Newspaper notices indicate that she performed publicly with her sister Christie on some occasions, including in Sydney in 1898[3] and in Perth in 1910.[4]

In the 1920s, Fuller turned from singing to crafts, exhibiting in Perth, where a show of her work was opened by Lady Moulden,[5] who had also been a patron of her sister Florence. Amy Fuller's craftworks used stained timber to create Australian floral designs.[6]
