"Soul of the Coast"
Amanda resides on Texada Island, BC and has been painting professionally since 1990. She uses the patterns of nature to create dynamic compositions that dance with color - favorite subjects being unusual rock formations, rocky islets, beaches and dramatic skies. There is a stillness in Amanda's work that is at once familiar to all visitors of the coast. A place guided by memory yet enlightened with the immediate reality of nature in this rugged setting as ancient as time. It is that feeling we all experience when looking to the horizon, that moment of transcendence that refreshes our soul and puts our life and humanity in perspective. Her renderings are a reflection of that portal to the infinite that is the "soul of the coast."
