Amanda’s background in marketing and visual storytelling shapes her instinctive approach to composition and narrative. Drawing from her own photography, found imagery, and plein-air studies, she explores a space between realism and painterly abstraction. Her style is reminiscent of 20th century American Realism and graphic design influences.

At the heart of Amanda’s work is an interest in the beauty of everyday moments — the in-between scenes that might otherwise go unnoticed. Inspired by travel and urban life, her paintings move between exterior cityscapes and intimate interiors, using light, colour and composition to shape a strong sense of mood. There is often a quiet tension within the work: spaces feel lived-in yet still, figures present yet introspective.

Heavily influenced by the atmosphere of Edward Hopper, her work often depicts solitary urban landscapes where the figures are ‘together yet apart’ with a sense of introspective melancholy. These moments are reimagined through a brighter, more contemporary palette that brings a sense of warmth and familiarity.
