Amanda White - Contemporary Naive Art

An English artist indulging my passion for landscape and pattern and attempting to capture a sense of a particular place. Currently immersed in this huge writers' houses project that has taken hold of me and which happily combines my love of collage (recycling magazines) with literature, architecture, gardens and history.

About Me

My photo
amanda white
puerto de la cruz, santa cruz de tenerife, Spain
I am an English artist living in Spain, painting and collaging in naive style, with a special affinity with Sussex and Derbyshire. I paint mainly in acrylic. My influences are magpie-like: my favourite places, local history, patterns in the landscape, flora, fauna, patchwork, folk art, embroidery, books, Staffordshire pottery, any number of naive and not so naive artists, found objects, my sketchbooks old and new and last but not least my cats and other people's dogs! I have exhibited in group and solo shows in Spain, the Uk and the USA. My pictures are in many private collections in those and other countries as well as in corporate collections such as the Hogg Robinson Group, Casinos de Tenerife and in the Manchester City Art Gallery. I am a member of the Association of British Naive Artists.
