About Me

Amanda has been exhibiting since 2009. She tends to work on a small scale (usually postcard size) which allows her to respond quickly and make the most of that sudden impulse to paint things.

She is a keen runner, and running across the fields close to her home enables her to discover painting spots to return to.
