Amanda has developed a fascination for the interactions and interrelationships between the natural world and people. Living and working on Australia’s beautiful Gold Coast, Amanda is travelling through a process of self-discovery and through her paintings offers the viewer an emotional escape. Amanda’s work is focused on the quest for finding refuge, quietness and escapism. Some [paintings] focus on the lone swimmer, the few minutes of introspection when submerged in the warm quiet of water.
Amanda loves all kinds of art, but has a particular interest in realism in all its forms and grew up studying the classic masters. She has a special affinity for Norman Rockwell paintings and some of the more contemporary American realists such as Alyssa Monks and Bo Bartlett. She loves the technical skills required to focus on detail and the precision and control needed to capture light.
