Amanda Oliphant graduated with a BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art at LJMU followed by an MA in Art as Environment at MMU. Amanda is a trustee of BADA (British Art and Design Association) helping to facilitate projects and collaborations both nationally and internationally.
Amanda speaks about her latest series of works:
“My paintings attempt to capture the emotions and thoughts I encounter whilst walking through the landscape. They reflect sensations of footsteps upon uneven paths, the chaos of dense woodlands and the delicate beauty of open vistas. Hidden layers reveal themselves only to be captured through a degree of abstraction onto a surface. The paintings reveal the experience of awe-inspiring landscapes that leave me breathless. Through textured mark marking and tonal values, these elements become an exploration of the natural world. Back in the studio, ideas are transformed into visual stories through paint and unique mark-making techniques – an essence of my creative journey is recorded.”
