Amanda May

Wildlife & Landscape Artist

“I have worked as an Artist and Community Arts provider for over 20 years. Inspired by the incredible beauty and diversity of the British Countryside my work represents a celebration of Flora, Fauna and Landscape.

Having developed a detailed black and white Pen & Ink style for magazine illustrations early in my career, I now work with the finest nibbed pens available for detail and Acrylic Ink for colour. The level of detail in my Pen & Ink work is such that it can take up to a 6 months to complete some of my larger pieces.

I also enjoy working with Chalk Pastels. Focusing on mood and atmosphere rather than detail creates a complete contrast to my pen and ink pictures and allows more freedom of technique.

I regularly exhibit in Galleries and Venues locally and I am a member of the Arts Advisory Panel for Qube Arts in Oswestry, Shropshire. This role enables me to continue to pursue my interest in developing community Arts projects.

I hope you enjoy my work.”
