Biography

Biography

Amanda is a creative who started out as a watercolour painter, and whose work captured scenes of the coastal towns around Moray and Northern Scotland. During her Fine Art degree at Gray’s school of art, her practice evolved into dry media work that uses oil sticks, charcoal and chalk, with a flash of spray paint to create large, works that are both figurative and landscape based. Her work includes an ongoing portfolio project, ‘Art is cheap’ which aims to bring affordable art into the everyday and raise awareness of the production costs associated with the development and creation of artwork. To create instant access to art, she makes time lapse diaries of her production work and there are occasional releases of these demo’s and performances via TikTok @just4artsake. Amanda’s work is produced in her Aberdeen studio, Frauhaus, which she offers as an exhibition space to local and emerging artists.
