Amanda Oliphant is an artist than uses texture and colour. Her work is expansive and nature based.
Her work has been featured in painters TUBES magazine in the latest issue (#21).
Amanda graduated from Liverpool John Moore’s University with a BA Hons (1st class) in Fine Art in
2005 followed by a one year Fellowship at Wirral Metropolitan College in 2006, where an exhibition at
the Williamson Art Gallery showed an extensive collection of her work. Amanda then undertook further
study with an MA in Art as Environment at Miriad, Manchester Metropolitan University allowing continued
research into Art and Ecology.
Here is what Amanda has to say about her process.
“Painting both outdoors and then back in the studio helps to build a painterly story, expressing many
layers that sometimes I have to walk away from, find time to reflect, and then return.
They are a reconnection to place, an interpretation of the natural world.”
