Born a Lancashire Lass, Amanda now lives with her husband in Ascot and has two grown up children, a son and a daughter who live and work close by. Currently she spends most of her time working in her studio painting and experimenting with different mediums and techniques. Amanda studied Fine Art after leaving school then went on to University (DeMonfort) to continue her studies in Art, Fashion and Textiles for which she received a BA Hons degree. Undoubtedly this background training has had an impact on the way Amanda creates her artwork, but perhaps her biggest influences have come from her extensive travels around the World. Travelling both as a young designer and later accompanying her husband on many overseas postings.

Being immersed in the natural landscapes and scenery, traditions and cultural diversity of these many countries have all influenced and inspired Amanda’s work. From Europe to the Middle East and Africa, India to the Far East, Australia and America, all have left their mark.
